A inherited disorder of
unknown cause featuring short recurring bouts of fever together with
pain in the joints,
chest or abdomen. Also called Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF).
Between attacks, the patient seems healthy (when FMF is more
difficult
to diagnose). The gene for FMF (autosomal recessive, on chromosome
16) was reportedly
identified in August, 1997. FMF is found in persons of Mediterranean
ethnic background.
