DOI: 10.1007/s10875-021-01008-4
Abstract: PURPOSE Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and Pyrin-Associated Autoinflammation with Neutrophilic Dermatosis (PAAND) are clinically distinct autoinflammatory disorders caused by mutations in the pyrin-encoding gene MEFV. We investigated the transcriptional, phenotypical, and functional characteristics of patient… read more here.
