Summary
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disease that affects the populations with certain ethnic backgrounds. It is characterized by self-limiting febrile attacks of polyserositis. In recent years, some studies reported that FMF patients had increased vascular wall alterations and damage which may be another clinical phenotype of the disease.
