BACKGROUND: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is traditionally linked to MEFV mutations. However, many patients remain genetically unexplained after routine screening. This study evaluates the utility of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in patients with negative or heterozygous MEFV results from fragment analysis. METHODS: We analyzed 320 patients clinically diagnosed with FMF who had either no mutations or a...
