Descriptor fiebre mediterránea familiar
Entry term(s) enfermedad periódica
enfermedad periódica de Wolff
fiebre mediterránea familiar autosómica dominante
Scope note: Grupo de ENFERMEDADES AUTOINFLAMATORIAS HEREDITARIAS caracterizadas por episodios recurrentes de fiebre con dolor abdominal, cefalea, exantema, PLEURESÍA y ARTRITIS. También puede haber ORQUITIS, MENINGITIS benigna y AMILOIDOSIS. Las mutaciones homocigóticas o heterocigóticas compuestas del gen de la marenostrina que codifica la PIRINA producen la forma de enfermedad de transmisión autosómica recesiva; también existe una forma heterocigótica simple autosómica dominante con mutaciones en el mismo gen.

Scope note: A group of HEREDITARY AUTOINFLAMMATION DISEASES, characterized by recurrent fever, abdominal pain, headache, rash, PLEURISY; and ARTHRITIS. ORCHITIS; benign MENINGITIS; and AMYLOIDOSIS may also occur. Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in marenostrin gene encoding PYRIN result in autosomal recessive transmission; simple heterozygous, autosomal dominant form of the disease also exists with mutations in the same gene.
