Distribution of MEFV gene mutations throughout the gene (33)

The MEFV gene consists of 10 exons. The mutations in this gene most frequently occur in exon 10. Nevertheless, mutations in other exons may also be seen. Mutations emphasised in bold are the most commonly identified in FMF at present; those shown in a lighter colour are less frequently observed. The majority of the mutations identified are not shown in this figure.
