Résumé
The Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene codes for protein pyrin, which is among the modulators of inflammasome activity in innate immune cells. It was suggested that there is a relation between MEFV variations and inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate MEFV gene variations in the patients with primary dysmenorrhea. The prevalence of common MEFV gene variations (M694V, M680I, V726A, E148Q and R202Q) was investigated in 145 young women with primary dysmenorrhea and 135 unrelated healthy controls. MEFV gene variations were genotyped using PCR-based RFLP assay.
