Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of fever, with abdominal, thoracic, or articular pain. FMF is particularly common in Mediterranean populations, while other populations are rarely affected. MEFV gene analysis provides the only objective diagnostic criterion for FMF. However, the spectrum of MEFV mutations, which was first...
