Abstract
Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autoinflammatory disorder with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, due to mutations in the MEFV gene. The onset of the disease occurs before the age of 30 and is characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis lasting 1-4 days and spontaneously healing. We present the case of a family that meets clinical criteria for FMF and presents only one heterozygous mutation in the MEFV gene, which corroborates the possibility of a dominant expressiveness pattern in FMF
