Serum amyloid A1
This gene encodes a member of the serum amyloid A family of apolipoproteins. As an acute phase protein it plays an important role in immune modulation. Variations in that gene have been reported in association with different clinical courses of familial mediteranean fever.

These missense variations occur in various combinations which have their own nomenclature.
SAA1.1 |
70V;75A;78D;90G |
SAA1.2 |
70A;75V;78D;90D |
SAA1.3 |
70A;75A;78D;90G |
SAA1.4 |
70A;75V;78N;90G |
SAA1.5 |
70A;75V;78D;90G |
There is a strong linkage disequilibrium among these variants. For the missense variants at the codon positions 70 and 75 the following combinations are distinguished.: alpha p.[A70V;V75A], beta p.[A70=;V75=], gamma p.[A70=;V75A]. The latter shows a preponderance to develop AA amyloidosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.[Error: Macro 'ref' doesn't exist]
