Can familial mediterranean fever be detected before symptoms get bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Fmf is an inherited genetic condition. If a family member has already been diagnosed with fmf then other family members can undergo genetic testing to see if they have the mutation before symptoms start. Early management may prevent some of the long term complications of the disease.
