Abstract excerpt

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease mostly frequent in Mediterranean populations. Over 50 mutations have been identified in the gene responsible for the disease, MEFV. The present study reports the frequencies of MEFV mutations in 558 Lebanese and 55 Jordanian FMF patients and points out the severity of the M694V frequently observed mutation among these patients. Three novel...
