Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of fever accompanied by painful inflammatory events. The FMF StripAssay® readily identifies gene mutations underlying this disease.

Familial Mediterranean Fever

  • FMF is an inherited autoinflammatory disorder.
  • The most relevant complication associated with FMF is the build-up of protein deposits in serum (amyloidosis) severely affecting kidney and other organs.
  • Four different mutations in the MEFV gene (encoding the pyrin protein) have been identified as causes for the development of FMF.
  • Prophylactic treatment with colchicine.
  • No ultimate cure available.
