The patient experience of Colchicine Resistant-Familial Mediterranean Fever (cr-FMF)

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a genetic disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and pain, which is most common in those of Sephardic Jewish, Armenian, Turkish or Arabic descent. Although colchicine is the mainstay of treatment for FMF, an estimated 5 to 15% of patients have an incomplete response to colchicine (e.g. colchicine-resistance FMF [cr-FMF]).[1,2]
