MEFV Gene Mutation may have a Culprit Role in the Pathogenesis of Gout

Abstract

This paper is about an interesting case that presented with gastrointestinal system amyloidosis due to poorly controlled, polyarticular tophaceous gout. We aim to emphasize the culprit role of Mediterranean Fever (MEFV) gene mutations in such cases to prevent long-term poor complications, due to the unfavorable course of gout.
