Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: A number of differences have been noted in clinical familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) among ethnic groups. Iraqi Jews and Druzes are characterized by less severe disease. The differences in disease expression raise the possibility of background genes peculiar to specific ethnic groups. METHODS: We analyzed a series of FMF linked microsatellite markers and searched for gene mutations in these 2...
