Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_000243.3(MEFV):​c.462G>T​(p.Ser154Ser) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000069 in 1,448,240 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign 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. S154S) 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_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.64).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.389 with no splicing effect.
