Objectives

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a recessively inherited autoinflammatory disorder. The caspase-1-dependent cytokine, IL-1β, plays an important role in FMF pathogenesis, and RAC1 protein has been recently involved in IL-1β secretion. This study aims to investigate RAC1 expression and role in IL-1β and caspase-1 production and oxidative stress generation in FMF.
