Description

This variant, formerly titled FAMILIAL MEDITERRANEAN FEVER (249100), has been reclassified based on the findings of Berg et al. (2013).

In a genotypic study of 90 Armenian FMF (249100) patients from 77 unrelated families, Cazeneuve et al. (1999) identified a novel mutation, arg408-to-gln (R408Q) in the MEFV gene. The mutation was identified in 1 patient in cis with the E148Q (608107.0005) and P369S (608107.0014) mutations.

Berg et al. (2013) reclassified the R408Q mutation as 'considered to imply carrier status' for a recessive disorder. They noted that the R408Q and P369S (608107.0014) mutations had been reported in cis as a single allele resulting in a highly variable clinical phenotype.

Description

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
