The symptoms of [[familial Mediterranean fever]] are caused by the person's own inflammatory response; it is not an [[infectious disease]]. The condition is more common among [[Turks]], [[Sephardic Jews]], and people of [[Arab]] and [[Armenian]] ancestry.

23andMe tests for SNPs in the [[MEFV]] gene that are associated with a recessive form of [[familial Mediterranean fever]]:
* [[rs28940579]], also known as V726A (risk allele G)
* [[rs28940580]], also known as M680I C>G (risk allele G)
* [[rs28940578]], also known as M694I (risk allele T)
* [[rs3743930]], also known as E148Q (risk allele G)
* [[rs11466023]], also known as P369S (risk allele A)
* [[i4000406]], also known as M694V (risk allele C)
* [[i4000409]], also known as A744S (risk allele A)
* [[i4000403]], also known as F479L (risk allele C)
* [[i4000410]], also known as R761H (risk allele T)
* [[i4000407]], also known as K695R (risk allele C)
