Age estimation of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with autoinflammatory diseases in anatolia: insights from ancient and modern DNA.
Article in Human genetics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases are immune system disorders that arise from abnormalities in the innate immune system. With the advent of genome sequencing, several distinct genetic loci associated with different types of autoinflammatory diseases have been identified. However, the evolutionary history of these variants, such as the age of the alleles, has not been fully explored in human populations. In this study, we focus on Anatolia, a region with a rich and dynamic prehistory, serving as a hub for human migration and genetic interactions. We explore the age of mutations associated with autoinflammatory diseases that are prevalent in present-day Anatolia, including Familial Mediterranean Fever, Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Fever Syndrome, and Behçet’s Disease. We use RELATE and analyze genomic data from six low-to-medium depth of coverage (0.74–6.02X) ancient (1500 BCE − 7955 BCE) and 16 modern individuals from Anatolia to estimate the ages of 26 SNPs associated with these autoinflammatory disorders. Our results show that allele ages range from 981.452 to 74080.4 generations. We find that Behçet’s Disease is the earliest to have appeared in Anatolia, followed by Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Associated Periodic Fever Syndrome and Familial Mediterranean Fever. We had used both modern and ancient samples to improve the accuracy of our estimates. A MEFV variant that is modestly associated with Familial Mediterranean Fever (rs61732874) age range of 8050 to 17929.8 generations, suggests that the origin of Familial Mediterranean Fever disease in Anatolia may date back further than previously thought. This is the first time that Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome SNP (rs4149584) age was calculated as 3263.58 to 8160.29 generations. In summary, understanding the age of these alleles is crucial, as it provides valuable insights into the historical prevalence of mutations linked to diseases in Anatolia and their role in the genetic landscape of the region.
