Objective. The pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has a strong genetic contribution. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessively inherited autoinflammatory disorder caused by MEFV gene missense variations, and a clinical association between FMF and AS has been reported previously. The aim of this study was to analyze the association of common MEFV variations (M694V, M680I, V726A, and E148Q) with AS in a group of Turkish patients.
