The Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria may provide a new perspective on the diagnosis and clinical follow-up of FMF patients. Patients with a pathogenic variant who meet the Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria including genetic variables have earlier onset of disease and more frequent attacks than those who meet the criteria including clinical variables. These patients need regular and closer follow-ups in terms of attack frequency, colchicine dose adjustment, and colchicine resistance.
