Notes
rs121907890, also known as c.2074_2076delATA, is a SNP in the MEFV gene. 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.
