AB1035 INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA COMPOSITION OF ADULT PATIENTS WITH FAMILIAL MEDITERRANEAN FEVER AND HEALTHY CONTROLS (THE RHEUMA-BIOTA STUDY)
2020
Background:Although Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a monogenic disease, microbiota composition may play role in the pathogenesis or phenotypic expression.Objectives:We aim to evaluate the intestinal microbiota composition in patients with FMF and to compare with healthy controls.Methods:In this prospective cohort study, a group of 10 adult patients with FMF and 10 age-appropriate healthy controls, for which there was strict inclusion/exclusion, were enrolled. Fecal samples were stored at -80°C until DNA extraction. A region of the 16S rRNA gene (V3-V4) was selected and sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq platform at the Sequencing and Bioinformatics Service of FISABIO foun…
AB0492 INTESTINAL MICROBIOTA COMPOSITION OF PATIENT’S WITH BEHCET’S DISEASE: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EYE, MUCOCUTANEOUS AND VASCULAR INVOLVEMENT (RHEUMA-…
2020
Background:Recently, it has been shown that changes in microbiota composition play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Changes in oral and intestinal microbiota diversity and composition are suggested in Behcet disease (BD), however there are no study available about the potential gut microbiota changes among different clinical forms of BD.Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the intestinal microbiota composition of patient with BD and healthy controls, and also compare BD patients regarding to their eye, mucocutaneous and vascular involvement.Methods:In this prospective cohort study,27 patients diagnosed with BD and 10 aged and sex matched healthy contr…
