MEFV gene pathogenic variants: a risk factor for dysmenorrhea in the Turkish population

CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that MEFV variations may be a risk factor for patients with dysmenorrhea in a Turkish cohort.HighlightsThere are very few studies in the literature regarding the relationship between pathological variants of MEFV and dysmenorrhea disease.The common MEFV mutations/variants were evaluated in primary dysmenorrhea patients.Family history was statistically higher in the patient group (p <.001).MEFV gene variations were found 52 (35.9%) in patients and 29 (21.5%2) in controls.MEFV gene allele frequency was significantly higher in-patient group than control (p =.005).PMID:38133485 | DOI:10.1080/15257770.2023.2293074
