Abstract

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a recessive trait mainly affecting Jews, Turks and Arabs. FMF is characterized by recurrent episodes of painful serositis and fever leaving no sequelae. Involvement of the peritoneum is the most common clinical form. In 1997 the gene that causes FMF (MEFV-gene) was cloned, thus given clinicians an opportunity to diagnose the disease. We have established the method in our laboratory. We describe the first patient diagnosed with FMF in our department by this method.
