Familial Mediterranean fever: prevalence, penetrance and genetic drift.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Aug 2001

Gershoni-Baruch R, Shinawi M, Leah K, Badarnah K, Brik R

Abstract excerpt

FMF is widely distributed in populations inhabiting the Mediterranean basin. It is mainly attributed to five founder mutations (M680I, M694V, M694I, V726A, E148Q) in the MEFV gene. The frequencies and distribution of these mutations in 146 FMF patients, of Arab and Jewish descent, were compared t...
