The spectrum of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) mutations [PDF]
European Journal of Human Genetics, 2001 Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the prototype of a group of inherited inflammatory disorders. The gene (MEFV) responsible for this disease, comprises 10 exons and 781 codons. Twenty-nine mutations, most located in the last exon, have been identified so far. It is unclear whether all are true disease-causing mutations.
