Among three isoforms, only the expression of the MEFV full-length (i1.2) transcript was borderline significant (patients vs. controls, mean ± SD, −0.34 ± 1.1 vs. 0.32 ± 0.79; p = 0.049) while for the transcript lacking exon 2 ( MEFV -d2), p -values exceeded the significance threshold (patients vs. controls, mean ± SD, −0.1 ± 0.79 vs. −0.45 ± 0.65; p = 0.08) ( Figure 2 a–c).
