FMF-associated amyloidosis in non-Askhenazi Jews is more frequently found with the M694V homozygote genotype. Three patients in this study with the phenotype II were M694V homozygotes.

Eur J Hum Genet 1999, 7:287-292. FMF-associated amyloidosis in a mixed population (non-Askhenazi Jews, Armenians, and Turks) is more frequently found with the M694V homozygote genotype.
