Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2

The NM_000243.3(MEFV):​c.2064C>A​(p.Tyr688*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y688Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

MEFV Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• familial Mediterranean fever

  Inheritance: AD, AR, SD Classification: DEFINITIVE, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, Myriad Women's Health, ClinGen
• autosomal recessive familial Mediterranean fever

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE Submitted by: G2P
• familial Mediterranean fever, autosomal dominant

  Inheritance: AR Classification: STRONG Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 10 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
