Core Tip This study demonstrates that serum resistin levels are significantly elevated in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever, particularly during acute attacks, and are closely associated with key inflammatory markers. Elevated resistin levels correlate with specific MEFV genotypes, such as E148Q and M694V, which are associated with more severe disease phenotypes. These findings suggest that resistin could be a valuable biomarker for diagnosing Familial Mediterranean Fever, monitoring disease activity, and assessing clinical severity. The study highlights the potential of resistin-targeted therapies and emphasizes the need for further research to explore their clinical applications in familial Mediterranean fever management.
