Description

Variant summary: MEFV c.-15C>G is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0035 in 150986 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.012 within the African or African-American subpopulation, including 3 homozygotes (gnomAD v3.1, genomes dataset). This frequency is somewhat lower than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in MEFV causing Familial Mediterranean Fever (0.022), allowing no clear conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.-15C>G in individuals affected with Familial Mediterranean Fever and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as VUS (n=2) or likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
