C3, BF and C4 polymorphisms in familial Mediterranean fever.
BF, C3 and C4 phenotyping were investigated in 34 patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and in 48 control subjects. Both groups included Sephardic Jews born in Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. No linkage between BF, C3 and C4 polymorphisms and FMF was found.
