| Timing of Loss | "... we found that several gene-inactivating mutations are shared with the Asian elephant, indicatin g that MEFV was already lost in the ancestor of both elephants." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
| Phenotypic | "MEFV encodes the protein pyrin that controls innate immunity by regulating inflammasome function and selective autophagy of inflammatory activators (84,85)." | 10.1093/nargab/lqz012 |
