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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 09, 2022	This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 148 of the MEFV protein (p.Glu148Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs104895076, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial mediterranean fever (PMID: 17489852, 24469716, 28211254, 28483595, 29735907). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2554). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Oct 30, 2018	The MEFV c.443A>T; p.Glu148Val variant (rs104895076), is reported in the literature in the heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous state in individuals with a variety of symptoms, ranging from no symptoms to juvenile idiopathic arthritis to familial Mediterranean fever (Comak 2013, Dogan 2013, Dogan 2015, Giaglis 2007, Medlej-Hashim 2002, Sandhya 2017). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 2554), and is found in the South Asian population with an allele frequency of 0.043% (13/30,272 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glutamic acid at codon 148 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. Due to conflicting phenotype information, the clinical significance of the p.Glu148Val variant is uncertain at this time. References: Comak E et al.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 19, 2022	Variant summary: MEFV c.443A>T (p.Glu148Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. A recently reported in-silico ensemble method for predicting pathogenicity of missense variants (Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner, REVEL) predicted a computed classification for this variant as likely pathogenic (Accetturo_2020). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.7e-05 in 235044 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in MEFV causing Familial Mediterranean Fever (7.7e-05 vs 0.022), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. Following a comprehensive and conservative assessment of literature spanning over thirteen years (2007-2020), c.443A>T, has been reported in the literature in a homozygous/compound heterozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with Familial Mediterranean Fever (example, Giaglis_2007, Ibrahim_2015, Lachmann_2006, Cekin_2017, Sandhya_2017, Gumus_2018, Bozgeyik_2020, Tanatar_2020). Numerous publications also reported affected individuals lacking a second allele. In addition, the variant has also been reported in asymptomatic individuals. At-least one co-occurrence in cis with another pathogenic MEFV variant (p.M694V Tchernitchko 2003) has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation. Variable reports of the extent of genotyping and lack of clearly defined phase information (i.e., presumed trans versus cis co-occurrence) confound an accurate assessment from the ascertained literature. These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease in some genetic backgrounds. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluations after 2014) cite the variant as "uncertain significance." Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Therefore, due to the conflicting evidence outlined above, the variant has been classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
