TL;DR: The cloning of the FMF gene promises to shed light on the regulation of acute inflammatory responses and is described as a member of a family of nuclear factors homologous to the Ro52 autoantigen.

TL;DR: Genotype data for 12 markers from the authors' physical map support the view that a few major mutations account for a large percentage of the cases of FMF and suggest that some of these mutations arose before the affected Middle Eastern populations diverged from one another.

TL;DR: The assembly and restriction map of a 1.05-Mb cosmid contig spanning the candidate region for familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) provides an ideal resource for transcriptional mapping toward the eventual identification of this disease gene.
