Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most frequent hereditary inflammatory disease characterized by self-limited recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. It is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern and affects certain ethnic groups mainly Jews, Turks, Arabs, and Armenians. FMF is caused by mutations in MEFV gene, which encodes pyrin. This

Update in familial Mediterranean fever
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2021Purpose of review Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the prototypic autoinflammatory disease. Although the gene associated with the disease was identified 24 years ago, we still have to learn about the pathogenesis of its inflammation and the variation in the phenotype. In this review, we discuss some recent findings in FMF,

Arthritis in familial Mediterranean fever
Rheumatology International, 2001We studied the rheumatic and various clinical manifestations of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in Lebanon. A retrospective review was performed of the medical records of 74 FMF patients seen at the American University of Beirut Medical Centre (AUB-MC) from 1979 to 1996. We also reviewed the medical literature from 1968 to 2000 using MEDLINE and the

Familial Mediterranean fever in Arabs
The Lancet, 2006Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of disorders characterised by seemingly unprovoked inflammation in the absence of high-titre autoantibodies or antigen-specific T cells, and include the hereditary periodic fever syndromes. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an archetypal autoinflammatory disorder, which is autosomal recessive and has a high ...
