Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), known as well as periodic disease, is autosome-recessive hereditary disease clinically expressed in acute episodes of fever associated with serositis and amiloidoses. FMF rate is highest in Armenians and Jewish but spread widely across the world. FMF pose the serious social-medical problem for Armenian public health due its prevalence, medical, social and economic consequences. In view of hereditary nature of disease and absence of means of specific prevention genetic testing and consulting of young families are recommended.
