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]

The MEFV c.926C>T; p.Thr309Met variant (rs104895155) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with periodic fever syndromes (Chandrakasan 2014, Infevers database). This variant is found in the South Asian population with an overall allele frequency of 0.28% (85/30576 alleles, including one homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 309 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen-2: benign) predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Thr309Met variant is uncertain at this time. References: Infevers database: https://infevers.umai-montpellier.fr/web/search.php?n=1 Chandrakasan S et al. Clinical and genetic profile of children with periodic fever syndromes from a single medical center in South East Michigan. J Clin Immunol. 2014 Jan;34(1):104-13. -

Variant summary: MEFV c.926C>T (p.Thr309Met) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00057 in 247628 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0028 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in MEFV causing Familial Mediterranean Fever (0.00057 vs 0.022), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.926C>T has been reported in the literature in patients affected with Familial Mediterranean Fever (Chandrakasan_2014), unclassified monogenic auto inflammtory disease (Omoyinmi_2017) and adult onset Still's disease (Sighart_2017) . These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Mediterranean Fever. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31411330, 19790133, 24233262, 28750028, 29159471). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 97554). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
