Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a common, inherited, autosomal recessive inflammatory disease in children. The diagnosis of FMF is based on clinical features and positive family history supported with genetic testing. This study aimed to determine the frequency and distribution of Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene alterations of a city in Northern Anatolia.
