Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 21600797). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.41; 3Cnet: 0.86). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002538). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 10879615, 9288758). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 3 similarly affected relatives/individuals in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 11977178). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Met694Ile) has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002539).

Functional studies have shown that this missense change has a damaging effect on the function of the MEFV protein (PMID: 24318677). It is present in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.027% (77/282876) and thus is presumed to be rare. In silico tools used to predict the effect of this variant on protein function yield discordant results. Based on the available evidence, the c.2080A>G (p.Met694Val) variant is classified as Pathogenic. (less)

In the homozygous state this variant is associated with a higher rate of amyloidosis and a lower response to colchicine (Soylemezoglu 2010 PMID: 20008920, Akpolat 2012 PMID: 22037353). It has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 2385). It has been identified in 12/68010 European chromosomes by gnomAD. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. However, in vitro functional studies show decreased capacity of the variant protein to suppress IL-8 secretion in synovial cell cultures and FMF-knock-in mice studies showed decreased binding of PKN1 and 14-3-3 protein to murine pyrin in vivo, thereby providing some evidence that this variant impacts protein function (Sugiyama 2014 PMID: 24318677, Park 2016 PMID: 27270401). Additionally, another variant involving this codon (p.Met694Ile) has been reported in individuals with FMF and is classified as pathogenic by several clinical laboratories in ClinVar. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive FMF. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3_Moderate, PM3_VeryStrong, PM2_Supporting, PP1_strong. (less)

This residue falls in the B30.2 domain which contributes to pyrin's role in regulating the inflammation response (PMID: 16785446). This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar 2538) that is one of the most common variants observed in individuals affected by Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) (PMID: 20301405, 19790133) in either the homozygous or compound heterozygous states (PMID: 11938447, 9288758, 16627024, 20008920, 22037353, 23334425, 30171907). Additional observations suggest that individuals heterozygous for this variant may be affected by FMF (PMID: 16627024, 20301405, 30171907). This variant is present in 91 of 403632 alleles (0.0225%) in the gnomAD population dataset. Multiple bioinformatic tools predict that this methionine to valine amino acid change would be neutral, and the Met694 residue at this position is moderately conserved across the vertebrate species examined. In vivo studies of this variant in human and murine cells indicate that this variant stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory signals (PMID: 24318677, 21600797). Based upon the evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. ACMG Criteria: BP4, PM1, PS3, PS4 (less)

Functional analysis of the variant protein shows diminished capacity to suppress IL-8 secretion in synovial cell cultures (Sugiyama 2014). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 2538), and is seen in the general population at an overall frequency of 0.03% (77/282876 including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Additionally, another variant at this codon (Met694Ile) has been reported in individuals with FMF and is considered pathogenic (Sugiyama 2014).

This variant is present in population databases (rs61752717, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and in the homozygous state this variant is associated with a higher rate of amyloidosis and a lower response to colchicine (PMID: 9781020, 10364520, 20008920, 21290976, 22037353). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2538). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MEFV function (PMID: 24318677). This variant disrupts the p.Met694 amino acid residue in MEFV. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10787449, 15942916, 24318677). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

The methionine at codon 694 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This is one of the most common mutations in individuals with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), particularly among individuals of North African Jewish descent. In addition, homozygosity of the p.M694V mutation is associated with a severe phenotype and 6-fold higher risk of amyloidosis compared with other genotypes (The International FMF Consortium. Cell, 1997 Aug;90:797-807; Gershoni-Baruch R et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2002 Feb;10:145-9; Kasifoglu T et al. Rheumatology (Oxford), 2014 Apr;53:741-5).

Functional studies of this variant have shown impaired pyrin (encoded by the MEFV gene) function (Sugiyama et al. 2014). Exon 10 is a hotspot region for variants in MEFV gene causing familial mediterranean fever (Grossman et al. 2018). The p.Met694Val variant is present with an allele frequency of 0.03% (71 heterozygotes; 1 homozygote) in the gnomAD exomes database. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic / Pathogenic (multiple submissions). The amino acid change p.Met694Val in MEFV is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Met at position 694 is changed to a Val changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

Following criteria are met: 0101 - Gain of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF; MIM#134610, MIM# 249100). Gain of function is a mechanism demonstrated by mouse models (PMID: 21600797). However, there has been some controversy as to whether this is due to a loss of an inhibitor or gain of pro-inflammatory function (PMID: 31088470). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease.

The affected individuals had 4 apparently distinct haplotypes. The French FMF Consortium (1997) identified this A-G transition in the MEFV gene at nucleotide 1170 of their partial cDNA sequence. They referred to the mutation as the 'MED' variation because it was observed in affected members of families of various origins (Jewish, Armenian, Turkish, Arabian) sharing the MED haplotype. The ethnic diversity indicated that the mutation is ancient and confirms founder effect in the origin of a large fraction of FMF cases in the Mediterranean basin. The MED mutation is found in about 80% of the FMF Jewish (Iraqi and North African) chromosomes. To see if the presence of this mutation could be correlated with particular traits of the disease, Dewalle et al. (1998) examined clinical features in a panel of 109 Jewish FMF patients with 0, 1, or 2 MED mutations. They showed that homozygosity for this mutation was significantly associated with a more severe form of the disease. In homozygous patients, the disease started earlier (mean age 6.4 vs 13.6) and both arthritis and pleuritis were twice as frequent as in patients with one or no M694V mutation. Moreover, all 3 of 3 patients with amyloidosis displayed 2 MED mutations. No association was found with fever, peritonitis, response to colchicine, and erysipeloid eruption. Cazeneuve et al. (1999) found that the M694V allele had a frequency of 44.8% among 90 Armenian FMF patients from 77 unrelated families. They also found that the homozygous M694V genotype was associated with a higher prevalence of renal amyloidosis and arthritis, compared with other genotypes. Yilmaz et al. (2001) found that the M694V allele had a frequency of 51.6% among 450 Turkish FMF patients. The carrier frequency in a Turkish population sample of 100 was 3%. Bathelier et al. (2010) identified the M694V allele in 36 (6%) of 604 French patients with FMF: 7 patients were homozygous for the mutation and 29 were heterozygous. Heterozygosity for the M694V allele was found in 3 of 779 controls, which was significantly lower than among patients. Five of the 604 FMF patients had amyloidosis, and 2 of the patients with amyloidosis were homozygous for the M694V allele. Bathelier et al. (2010) concluded that M694V is a risk allele for the development of amyloidosis in FMF. Among patients carrying the mutant allele, 47% were of North African Jewish ancestry. In addition, the 3 controls who were heterozygous for the mutation were of Sephardic origin. In a Lebanese female with autosomal recessive FMF, Masters et al. (2016) identified compound heterozygous missense mutations in the FMF gene: M694V and S242R (608107.0021). Each mutation was inherited from a parent: the unaffected mother carried the S242R variant in heterozygous state, suggesting incomplete penetrance of acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis (AFND; 608068). The patient had periodic fevers, serositis, recurrent aphthous ulcers reminiscent of Behcet disease (BD; 109650), transient skin rashes/nodules, and joint pain that was partially controlled by colchicine. Grossman et al. (2019) compared 57 patients with FMF who were homozygous for the M694V mutation to a cohort of 56 patients with FMF and other MEFV genotypes. They found that the M694V homozygotes had more severe disease, including more attacks per year, higher colchicine dosing, and lower colchicine response compared to the cohort of other genotypes.

PubMed ID: 23588594; Sedivá et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24251727). This variant has been identified in patients in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states, as well as in heterozygous carriers with clinical manifestations of FMF (Moradian et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23907647; Sedivá et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24251727). This variant is reported in 0.046% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. (less)

The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs61752717), ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx and nine other laboratories, and as likely pathogenic by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) and LOVD 3.0 (classified as pathogenic). The variant was identified in control databases in 77 of 282876 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.000272 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 7 of 7226 chromosomes (freq: 0.000969), European (non-Finnish) in 59 of 129184 chromosomes (freq: 0.000457), Latino in 9 of 35438 chromosomes (freq: 0.000254) and African in 2 of 24968 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), and South Asian populations. One study of a Turkish population with FMF found that homozygosity for the M694V variant was associated with an earlier age of onset and a higher likelihood or developing arthritis and arthralgia (Tunca_2005_PMID:15643295). Individuals with the p.M694V pathogenic variant, particularly homozygous individuals, are at increased risk for amyloidosis (Dusunsel_2008_PMID:18353061) and have a decreased response to colchicine (Soylemezoglu_2010_PMID:20008920). Another study found that the M694V variant was associated with increased susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (OR=3.33) (Zhong_2017_PMID:28800602). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (MaxEntScan, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity.The p.Met694 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Further, functional studies of the M694V variant have shown impaired pyrin (encoded by the MEFV gene) function (Sugiyama_2014_PMID:24318677). In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratoryâ€šÃ„Ã´s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. (less)

Comment:

NM_000243.2(MEFV):c.2080A>G(M694V, aka MED) is classified as pathogenic in the context of familial Mediterranean fever. In the absence of a known personal and/or family history of inflammatory disease, the clinical significance of MEFV variant status is uncertain. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 10364520, 11464248, 23907647, 23334425, 16785446. Classification of NM_000243.2(MEFV):c.2080A>G(M694V) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.

Comment:

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.027%). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 21600797). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.41; 3Cnet: 0.86). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002538). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 10879615, 9288758). The variant has been reported to co-segregate with the disease in at least 3 similarly affected relatives/individuals in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 11977178). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Met694Ile) has been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002539). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

Comment:

This variant is a common cause of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), and has been previously reported as a heterozygous, compound heterozygous, and homozygous change in patients with MEFV-related disorders (PMID: 9288758, 20301405). Functional studies have shown that this missense change has a damaging effect on the function of the MEFV protein (PMID: 24318677). It is present in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.027% (77/282876) and thus is presumed to be rare. In silico tools used to predict the effect of this variant on protein function yield discordant results. Based on the available evidence, the c.2080A>G (p.Met694Val) variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Comment:

The p.Met694Val variant in MEFV is the most common cause of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in Israel, Armenia and Turkey, and it is also present in other populations (Dewalle 1998 PMID: 9781020, Cazeneuve 1999 PMID: 10364520, Bathelier 2010 PMID: 21290976, Akpolat 2012 PMID: 22037353). In the homozygous state this variant is associated with a higher rate of amyloidosis and a lower response to colchicine (Soylemezoglu 2010 PMID: 20008920, Akpolat 2012 PMID: 22037353). It has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 2385). It has been identified in 12/68010 European chromosomes by gnomAD. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. However, in vitro functional studies show decreased capacity of the variant protein to suppress IL-8 secretion in synovial cell cultures and FMF-knock-in mice studies showed decreased binding of PKN1 and 14-3-3 protein to murine pyrin in vivo, thereby providing some evidence that this variant impacts protein function (Sugiyama 2014 PMID: 24318677, Park 2016 PMID: 27270401). Additionally, another variant involving this codon (p.Met694Ile) has been reported in individuals with FMF and is classified as pathogenic by several clinical laboratories in ClinVar. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive FMF. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3_Moderate, PM3_VeryStrong, PM2_Supporting, PP1_strong.

Comment:

This sequence variant is a single nucleotide substitution (A>G) at position 2080 of the coding sequence of the MEFV gene that results in a methionine to valine amino acid change at residue 694 of the MEFV-encoded pyrin protein. This residue falls in the B30.2 domain which contributes to pyrin's role in regulating the inflammation response (PMID: 16785446). This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar 2538) that is one of the most common variants observed in individuals affected by Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) (PMID: 20301405, 19790133) in either the homozygous or compound heterozygous states (PMID: 11938447, 9288758, 16627024, 20008920, 22037353, 23334425, 30171907). Additional observations suggest that individuals heterozygous for this variant may be affected by FMF (PMID: 16627024, 20301405, 30171907). This variant is present in 91 of 403632 alleles (0.0225%) in the gnomAD population dataset. Multiple bioinformatic tools predict that this methionine to valine amino acid change would be neutral, and the Met694 residue at this position is moderately conserved across the vertebrate species examined. In vivo studies of this variant in human and murine cells indicate that this variant stimulates the release of pro-inflammatory signals (PMID: 24318677, 21600797). Based upon the evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. ACMG Criteria: BP4, PM1, PS3, PS4

Comment:

This variant is interpreted as a Likely Pathogenic, for Familial mediterranean fever, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PM1 => Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation. PS3 => Well-established functional studies show a deleterious effect (PMID:24318677). PM2 => Present in Exome Aggregation Consortium with allele frequency compatible with disease prevalence. According to Genetics Home Reference (https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/familial-mediterranean-fever), Familial Mediterranean fever primarily affects populations originating in the Mediterranean region, particularly people of Armenian, Arab, Turkish, or Jewish ancestry. The disorder affects 1 in 200 to 1,000 people in these populations. It is less common in other populations.

Comment:

Reported as the most common pathogenic variant associated with familial Mediterranean fever, especially in Turkish, Armenian, Arab, and Jewish populations (Ozen, 2017; Askentijevich et al., 1999); Individuals who are homozygous for M694V are at higher risk for earlier onset, more severe symptoms, and for developing amyloidosis (Ozen, 2017); Multiple published functional and FMF-knock-in mice studies demonstrated the damaging effect of the M694V variant, e.g., showing loss of suppression of IL-8 secretion in vitro (Sugiyama et al., 2014) and decreased binding of PKN1 and 14-3-3 protein to murine pyrin in vivo (Park, 2016); Other missense variants altering the same residue (M694I/K/L) and nearby residues (e.g., K695R/M) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with FMF (Stenson et al., 2014); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21557533, 27538774, 27270401, 28800602, 28828621, 24369413, 11728994, 20669279, 11005788, 21483284, 23832993, 21995303, 21360101, 21329287, 22960328, 23588594, 22037353, 22975760, 24123366, 20437121, 25036284, 22790142, 20008920, 20483145, 22532615, 11470495, 10667038, 22487161, 23633568, 22783597, 19151978, 21259007, 23334425, 20049453, 20828792, 10879615, 21623663, 21228398, 10090880, 24251727, 23907647, 24533546, 26400644, 24318677, 9288758, 27994174, 27766107, 27621632, 27659338, 14636645, 15711787, 25550179, 12189462, 26071026, 26510601, 16721494, 18183427, 26360812, 18318646, 16179998, 17111701, 28573371, 11781702, 19151977, 28386255, 16523434, 17949559, 18408398, 9781020, 11175300, 14615741, 30826945, 30946743, 29543225, 30009667, 31814694, 30783801, 29027576, 30171907, 32199921, 32601469, 31589614, 33440462, 11977178, 30755392, 32888943, 29080837, 10852276, 10662876)

Comment:

MEFV NM_000243.2 exon 10 p.Met694Val (c.2080A>G): This variant is one of the most common pathogenic variants for Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). This variant has been reported in several publications in individuals with FMF in the homozygous, heterozygous and compound heterozygous state, including a Genereviews entry describing this variant as disease causing (Selected Publications: International FMF Consortium 1997 PMID:8288758, Barut 2018 PMID:28828621, Kriegshauser 2018 PMID:29543225). This variant is present in 0.01% (12/68010) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-3243407-T-C?dataset=gnomad_r3). Please note, disease causing variants may be present in control databases at low frequencies, reflective of the general population, carrier status and/or variable expressivity. This variant is present in ClinVar, with several labs classifying this variant as pathogenic (Variation ID:2538). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above.

Comment:

The MEFV c.2080A>G;p.Met694Val variant (rs61752717) has been published as a common familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) pathogenic variant (The International FMF Consortium 1997, Touitou 2001). Functional analysis of the variant protein shows diminished capacity to suppress IL-8 secretion in synovial cell cultures (Sugiyama 2014). This variant is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 2538), and is seen in the general population at an overall frequency of 0.03% (77/282876 including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Additionally, another variant at this codon (Met694Ile) has been reported in individuals with FMF and is considered pathogenic (Sugiyama 2014). Based on the above information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: The International FMF Consortium.

Comment:

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 694 of the MEFV protein (p.Met694Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs61752717, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and in the homozygous state this variant is associated with a higher rate of amyloidosis and a lower response to colchicine (PMID: 9781020, 10364520, 20008920, 21290976, 22037353). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2538). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MEFV function (PMID: 24318677). This variant disrupts the p.Met694 amino acid residue in MEFV. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10787449, 15942916, 24318677). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Comment:

The p.M694V pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2080A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the MEFV gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2080. The methionine at codon 694 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This is one of the most common mutations in individuals with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), particularly among individuals of North African Jewish descent. In addition, homozygosity of the p.M694V mutation is associated with a severe phenotype and 6-fold higher risk of amyloidosis compared with other genotypes (The International FMF Consortium. Cell, 1997 Aug;90:797-807; Gershoni-Baruch R et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2002 Feb;10:145-9; Kasifoglu T et al. Rheumatology (Oxford), 2014 Apr;53:741-5). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Comment:

The observed missense variant c.2080A>G (p.Met694Val) in MEFV gene has been reported previously in multiple individuals in both homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with familial mediterranean fever (Grossman et al. 2018). Functional studies of this variant have shown impaired pyrin (encoded by the MEFV gene) function (Sugiyama et al. 2014). Exon 10 is a hotspot region for variants in MEFV gene causing familial mediterranean fever (Grossman et al. 2018). The p.Met694Val variant is present with an allele frequency of 0.03% (71 heterozygotes; 1 homozygote) in the gnomAD exomes database. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic / Pathogenic (multiple submissions). The amino acid change p.Met694Val in MEFV is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Met at position 694 is changed to a Val changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Comment:

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0101 - Gain of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF; MIM#134610, MIM# 249100). Gain of function is a mechanism demonstrated by mouse models (PMID: 21600797). However, there has been some controversy as to whether this is due to a loss of an inhibitor or gain of pro-inflammatory function (PMID: 31088470). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. FMF is mostly autosomal recessive, however approximately 31% of patients with clinical FMF lack a second disease-associated variant (PMID: 29393966, PMID: 31088470). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance. Incomplete penetrance has been reported for variants in this gene (PMID: 11528510, PMID: 29393966). Penetrance for autosomal dominant FMF is incomplete, and the clinical severity is less than in autosomal recessive FMF (PMID: 20301405). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. There is variability of clinical symptoms in patients carrying the same mutations, even within the same family (PMID: 29393966). Previous studies have identified significant effects of modifying genes and environmental factors on the clinical phenotypes (PMID: 31088470). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from methionine to valine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 (75 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). (SP) 0309 - An alternative amino acid change at the same position has been observed in gnomAD (v2) (36 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (I) 0503 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be tolerated by multiple in silico tools or not conserved in placental mammals with a minor amino acid change. (SB) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated SPRY domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified many times as pathogenic, and is one of the most common alleles in individuals with familial Mediterranean fever. It has been observed in heterozygous, compound heterozygous and homozygous affected individuals (InFevers, ClinVar, GeneReviews). (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign

Comment:

The MEFV c.2080A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met694Val. This variant is one of the most common pathogenic variants identified in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF; Moradian et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23907647; Comak et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23588594; Sedivá et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24251727). This variant has been identified in patients in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states, as well as in heterozygous carriers with clinical manifestations of FMF (Moradian et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23907647; Sedivá et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24251727). This variant is reported in 0.046% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.

Comment:

The MEFV p.Met694Val variant is the most common variant associated with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), and has been identified in 1598 of 3112 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.513) from patients with FMF (Yilmaz_2001_PMID:11464248; Tunca_2005_PMID:15643295; Domingo_2000_PMID:10854105). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs61752717), ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx and nine other laboratories, and as likely pathogenic by the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) and LOVD 3.0 (classified as pathogenic). The variant was identified in control databases in 77 of 282876 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.000272 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Other in 7 of 7226 chromosomes (freq: 0.000969), European (non-Finnish) in 59 of 129184 chromosomes (freq: 0.000457), Latino in 9 of 35438 chromosomes (freq: 0.000254) and African in 2 of 24968 chromosomes (freq: 0.00008); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), and South Asian populations. One study of a Turkish population with FMF found that homozygosity for the M694V variant was associated with an earlier age of onset and a higher likelihood or developing arthritis and arthralgia (Tunca_2005_PMID:15643295). Individuals with the p.M694V pathogenic variant, particularly homozygous individuals, are at increased risk for amyloidosis (Dusunsel_2008_PMID:18353061) and have a decreased response to colchicine (Soylemezoglu_2010_PMID:20008920). Another study found that the M694V variant was associated with increased susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (OR=3.33) (Zhong_2017_PMID:28800602). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (MaxEntScan, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity.The p.Met694 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. Further, functional studies of the M694V variant have shown impaired pyrin (encoded by the MEFV gene) function (Sugiyama_2014_PMID:24318677). In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratoryâ€šÃ„Ã´s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
