<br/><br/> IBD and FMF share common clinical and biological features. This study aimed at determining the prevalence of MEFV gene mutation in IBD patients and to characterize FMF-IBD patients. It enrolled 17 patients with UC, 15 with CD, 10 with IC and 33 controls. All cases were screened for 12 MEFV gene mutations. 88.1% of the IBD patients carried the mutation versus 42.4% control cases
