| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The clinical characteristics of the female patients whose attacks were triggered by menstruation (menstrual-related patients) was shown below. The age at onset and the age at diagnosis in these patients was significantly lower than that in non-menstrual-related patients. Moreover, the percentage of patients with peritonitis was significantly higher in menstrual-related patients. The frequency of attacks, the percentage of symptoms other than peritonitis, and the response to colchicine treatment were not significantly different between the two groups. The proportion of patients complicating endometriosis was significantly higher in the menstrual-related group. With regard to the genetic features, the frequency of p.M694I mutation was higher in menstrual-related patients, but this was not statistically significant.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
女性FMF患者において月経は最大の発作誘発因子となることが示された。月経の度に熱が出る患者に遭遇した際、FMFを想起することの重要性が示されたと言える。子宮内膜症の合併率は高く、子宮内膜症そのものも炎症が関与しているとする研究もあり、両者の関連は興味深い。その他の発作誘発因子と異なり、月経は分かっていても回避することが難しいものではあるが、コルヒチン不応例、不耐例に対し、ホルモン療法が代替治療の一つになる可能性が示唆された。
