Abstract excerpt
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common auto-inflammatory disease. It is transmitted as autosomal recessive trait with mutations in MEditerranean FeVer (MEFV) gene. Despite a typical clinical expression, many patients have either a single or no mutation in MEFV. The current work is aimed to revisit the genetic landscape of FMF disease using high-coverage whole genome sequencing. In atypical patients...
