Common Familial Mediterranean Fever gene mutations in a Turkish cohort.

Abstract excerpt

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive autoinflammatory disorder with the responsible gene of MEFV which primarily affects Jewish, Armenian, Turkish and Arab populations. The FMF gene (MEFV) has recently been cloned to chromosome 16 p, which encodes pyrin.
