Excerpt

The inflammasome complex and the inflammatory pathway have been implicated in the pathogenesis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), and recently ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) mRNA expression was found to be up-regulated in patients carrying MEFV mutations independent of the mutation type. Gene-expression profiling has the capacity to reveal transcriptome profiles to discriminate disease "phenotypes" to understand a given disease and bring to light new diagnostic and predictive biomarkers. …
