Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) mutations occur frequently in the Greek-Cypriot population of Cyprus.

Abstract Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease of high prevalence within Mediterranean countries and particularly common in four ethnic populations: Arabs, non-Ashkenazi Jews, Armenians, and Turks. The…
