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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln97*) in the MEFV gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in MEFV cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs747515115, ExAC 0.002%). 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: 319117). 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. -
