Stopped: unable to recruit patients
There now causation between Heat Intolerance and FMF that were showed in studies till now. We suggest that the prevalence of Heat Intolerance in the group of the FMF patients will be significantly higher than in the group of healthy individuals, that participated in the study of Heller Institute of Medical Research. The aim of the study is verification of causation between these pathologies. The information obtained by the study may allow us to determine the sequence of events associated with FMF attack development, and perhaps take us one step further in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. 15 FMF patients with double mutations MEFV, mail sex, from the age from 18 to 30 without attacks during not less than 2 month will participate in the study. To identify an individuals susceptibility to exercise heat test, a Heat Tolerance Test (HTT) will perform, according to HTT Protocol of Heller Institute of Medical Research.
