Clinical Trial: MEVALONATE KINASE GENE MUTATIONS AND THEIR CLINICAL CORRELATIONS IN BEHÇET'S DISEASE

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title:

Brief Summary: Background: Genetics is suggested to play a critical role in the development of Behçet's disease (BD). Shared phenotypic features requires an approach to the differential diagnosis from periodic febrile syndromes particularly from mevalonate kinase deficiency related diseases. We planned to study for evaluating the frequency of mutations and their clinical significance in mevalonate kinase gene in Turkish patients with Behçet's disease.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Cukurova University

Current Primary Outcome: Frequency of mevalonate kinase frequency in Behçet disease [ Time Frame: One year ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Mevalonate kinase gene and clinical correlations in Behçet's disease [ Time Frame: One year ]

Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
