Genes affected

MEFV (HGNC:6998): (MEFV innate immunity regulator, pyrin) This gene encodes a protein, also known as pyrin or marenostrin, that is an important modulator of innate immunity. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mediterranean fever, a hereditary periodic fever syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects codon 126 of the MEFV mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MEFV protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs777867857, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MEFV-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 984473). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: MEFV c.378G>T results in a synonymous change. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates a 5' donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 246214 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.378G>T in individuals affected with Familial Mediterranean Fever and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS - possibly benign. -
