چکیده
Results Of the 37 patients 19(52.8%) are females, 18(47.2%)are males and the age ranged from 2 to16. A positive family history of FMF was noted in 5(13.5%).Two patient has developed amyloidosis(mutationM694V/M694V). 27 of the patients had mutation M694V/M694V. 3 had mutation M680i/M694V. Another had M680I/M964V, M6801c/R761H, M680I/V726A, E148Q/M694V,M964V/ WT. We have not colchicines resistant patient.
