    Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the Mediterranean fever gene (MEFV). We describe two novel missense mutations in MEFV, R653H and E230K. Both were found in compound heterozygosity with the mutation M694V in single Turkish patients with clinical syndromes characteristic for FMF. DNA sequencing and PCR-RFLP typing of the families confirmed the mutations and verified recessive modes of inheritance.
