Abstract:
The diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was, until recently, based on exclusion of diseases with related clinical signs. Now an exact diagnosis of FMF is possible by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We report here a case with 2 different mutations in the gene responsible for FMF, thereby being a compound heterozygote (M694V/V726A).
