Abstract

Giriş: Bu
çalışmanın amacı, MEFV gen mutasyonlu çocuklarda maküla ve koroid
kalınlıklarının değerlendirilmesidir.
Yöntem: MEFV gen mutasyonlu 35 çocuk
ve kontrol grubu olarak 40 sağlıklı çocuk çalışmaya alındı. MEFV gen profilleri
Pyrosequencing ve direct Sanger sequencing sekanslama teknikleri ile
genotiplendirildi. Her bir hastanın sağ göz maküla ve koroid kalınlıkları
spektral-alan optik koherens tomografi kullanılarak ölçüldü.

Bulgular: Ortalama
arteriolar ve venüler çaplar sırasıyla
MEFV gen mutasyonu olan çocuklarda 95,75±11,98
µm ve 127,61±10,44 µm, kontrol grupta 110,19±11,10
µm ve 138,54±10,04 µm idi. MEFV gen mutasyonu olan çocuklarda sağlıklı
kontrollere göre ortalama arteryol çapları (p<0,001), ortalama venüler
çapları (p<0,001) daha ince idi ayrıca maküler kalınlık (p=0,016) ve koroid
kalınlık (p=0,014) azalmıştı.

Sonuç: MEFV gen
mutasyonları olan çocuklarda retinal arteriyollerin, retinal venüllerin ve
maküler ve koroidal incelmenin olduğu görüldü. Gelecekteki çalışmalar, Ailesel
Akdeniz Ateşi olan çocuklarda endotel disfonksiyonunu invazif olmayan ve etkili
yöntemlerle araştırmayı amaçlamalıdır.

Abstract

Introduction: The
present study aimed to evaluate macular and choroidal thicknesses in children
with MEFV gene mutations.

Methods: Thirty-five children
with MEFV gene mutations and 40 healthy controls were included in the study.
MEFV gene profiles for the current cohort were genotyped by Pyrosequencing and
direct Sanger sequencing techniques. The thicknesses of the macular and choroid
of each subject’s right eye were measured using spectral-domain optic coherence
tomography.

Results: Mean
arteriolar and venular diameters were 95.75±11.98 µm and 127.61±10.44 µm in
children with the MEFV gene mutations and 110.19±11.10 µm and 138.54±10.04 µm
in control group respectively. Children with the MEFV gene mutations were found
to have a significantly less mean arteriolar diameter (p<0.001), mean
venular diameter (p<0.001), less macular thickness (p=0.016), and less
choroidal thickness (p=0.014) compared to healthy controls.

Conclusion: Children with the
MEFV gene mutations had narrowing of the retinal
arterioles, retinal venules, and macular and choroidal thinning. Future studies
should aim to investigate endothelial dysfunction in children with Familial
Mediterranean Fever by non-invasive and effective methods.
