Notes
From SNPedia
Notes
rs104895083, also known as F479L, is a SNP in the MEFV gene. The equivalent SNP for 23andMe is i4000403. The symptoms of familial Mediterranean fever are caused by the person's own inflammatory response; it is not an infectious disease. The condition is more common among Turks, Sephardic Jews, and people of Arab and Armenian ancestry. Non-founder mutations in the MEFV gene establish this gene as the cause of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF).
C;G
Familial Mediterranean Fever mutation carrier; unaffected unless a second MEFV gene mutation is present. Possibly: predisposition for fibromyalgia syndrome
