Abstract excerpt

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterised by recurrent attacks of inflammation of serosal membranes. Amyloidosis leading to renal failure is the most severe complication in untreated patients. In Israel FMF is most frequent among Jews of North African origin. Recently the causative gene (MEFV) has been found and the common mutations characterised. The aim of this study was...
