    Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, primarily observed in populations around the Mediterranean Sea, linked to MEFV gene mutations. These mutations disrupt inflammatory responses, increasing pyrin-protein production. Traditional diagnosis relies on clinical symptoms, family history, acute phase reactants, and excluding similar syndromes with MEFV testing, which is expensive and often inconclusive due to heterozygous mutations. Here, we present a biosensor platform that detects differences in pyrin-protein levels between healthy and affected individuals, offering a cost-effective alternative to genetic testing. Our platform uses gold nanoparticle-based plasmonic chips enhanced with anti-pyrin antibodies, achieving a detection limit of 0.24 ng/mL with high specificity. The system integrates an optofluidic system and visible light spectroscopy for real-time analysis, with signal stability maintained for up to six months. Our technology will enhance FMF diagnosis accuracy, enabling early treatment initiation and providing a cost-effective alternative to genetic testing, thus improving patient care. There are currently no laboratory tests available for definitive diagnosis of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Here, the authors develop cost-effective and accurate plasmonic biosensor platform which detects pyrin-protein levels to aid diagnosis of FMF.

    In this article, we introduced an electrochemical biosensor employing graphite electrodes (GE) decorated with Nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles for nucleic acid detection. NiFe2O4 nanoparticles in a narrow size distribution were synthesized with co-precipitation technique. Their chemical and crystallographic properties were characterized with FTIR and X-ray spectroscopies. Nanoparticle size distribution and hydrodynamic diameter were determined with particle size analyzer. Elemental content and purity of nanoparticles were analyzed with EDX analysis. Our analyses showed a diameter of similar to 10 nm for NiFe2O4 nanoparticles. Electrochemical properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were examined with different analysis methods. Conductivity properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated with Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), which confirmed that nanoparticles on GE surface have a high surface area and conductivity. More importantly, in this article, the interactions between NiFe2O4 nanoparticles and double stranded DNA (dsDNA), single stranded DNA (ssDNA), and RNA were for the first time examined using Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV), CV, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). Oxidation peak currents of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles and guanine bases of dsDNA, ssDNA, and RNA showed that NiFe2O4 nanoparticles effectively interacts with nucleic acids via an electrostatic mode.
