Özet

Background. Amyloidosis, mainly AA type, is one of the common diseases in nephrology clinics in Turkey. AA type amyloidosis is a complication of various chronic infections or inflammatory diseases such as familial Mediterranean fever (IMF), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), tuberculosis and bronchiectasis. A controversy exists in the literature regarding the relationship between SAA1 genotypes and AA type amyloidosis. This study aimed to investigate SAA1 gene polymorphism in different patient groups: 1) amyloidosis, 2) FMF and 3) healthy controls.
