Abstract
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an Autoinflammatory syndrome that is common in children in Mediterranean countries. The real prevalence of FMF in Sicilian children is unknown and need a wide population study. Furthermore, there are no data on the real prevalence of the different mutations between FMF patients and the concordance and/or discordance in clinical and biochemical parameters between patients of different generations.
