Is MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A) pathogenic?

MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in MEFV (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 8 submitters; last evaluated 2024-12-18). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1185); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0114%, amr); Associated with sweet syndrome.

What condition is associated with MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A)?

MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A) is associated with sweet syndrome, familial Mediterranean fever, autosomal dominant, familial Mediterranean fever (ClinVar).

How common is MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A) in the general population?

MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0114%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Sweet syndrome inherited?

Typically Multigenic/multifactorial (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about MEFV p.Pro175His (c.524C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1185) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
