The study of MEFV transcripts in clinically diagnosed FMF patients having one or two MEFV mutations and in healthy controls revealed 5 novel exon skipping events (del234, del2345, del34, del7 and del78) (Figures 1 and 2), and one previously reported one (MEFV-d2) [12]. This evidence concerns the gene MEFV and familial Mediterranean fever.
