Notes

rs104895097, also known as c.2282G>A, p.Arg761His or R761H, is a SNP in the MEFV gene. The equivalent SNP for 23andMe is i4000410. 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.

C;T

Familial Mediterranean Fever mutation carrier; unaffected unless a second MEFV gene mutation is present.
