title: The Comparison of Pediatric Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever Originated from Turkey and Crimea
abstract: The similar MEFV allele prevalence in both populations suggests the high prevalence of familial Mediterranean fever and the high number of undiagnosed patients in the Crimea peninsula. Younger age at onset, shorter duration of attacks, the prevalence of articular involvement, and erysipeloid rash were distinctive features of familial Mediterranean fever in Crimean Tatar.
