Accurate discrimination of putative interspecific hybrids between the two species is fundamental to population genetic research of desert poplars. Currently, publicly available and standardized genome-wide InDel marker resources specifically for desert poplars remain scarce. Traditional morphological identification exhibits low accuracy and reliability, and conventional markers (RAPD, AFLP, SSR) have limited repeatability and species specificity, failing to support standardized genotyping.

Regional MEFV variant spectra differ across Türkiye. We characterised the MEFV variant spectrum in a single-centre series of individuals tested for suspected FMF in the Eastern Black Sea region and explored in silico stratification of uncommon variants. No standardised clinical diagnostic criteria were applied; the study is therefore framed as a molecular variant-spectrum study.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We retrospectively analysed MEFV next-generation sequencing (NGS) reports from 611 consecutive individuals referred with a clinical suspicion of FMF (January 2022-October 2025). Standardised FMF classification criteria (Tel-Hashomer; Eurofever/PRINTO) were not applied; the cohort was defined by referral indication. For each variant, two metrics were reported: the proportion within the detected mutant-allele pool (n/591) and the allele frequency across all tested chromosomes (n/1222; 2 × 611). Uncommon variants were defined as all detected missense variants other than the recognised common FMF alleles (R202Q, M694V, M680I, M694I, V726A, E148Q, P369S, R408Q).

When restricted to high-penetrance exon 10 founder variants (M694V, M680I, M694I, V726A), the pathogenic-allele burden was substantially lower (202 alleles; 16.5% of tested chromosomes).
