Newsarama talked to Tom Brevoort:
Wanda has done away with the family ties with a spell.
The spell in question is quote below from the Newsarama article.
[HASH]Magneto
[HASH]AXIS7
Newsarama: Tom, can you confirm what readers found out today in Avengers & X-Men: AXIS #7 was that Magneto is not actually related to Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver?
Tom Brevoort: I don’t know that there’s any definitive proof of that one way or the other. But something pretty strange and unexpected is going on, certainly.
Nrama: Will be find out later about any other character(s) beside Pietro that was affected by the spell?
Brevoort: I tend to think that the spell in question was localized to the immediate area. Otherwise, it’s possible that Polaris might have been affected — or that she might not have been. Wiccan and Speed, likewise, may have been affected were they in the spell’s sphere of influence — but my feeling is that it was a localized phenomenon.
Nrama: Should readers assume at this time whether or not Wanda and Pietro are actually even mutants? Or should readers question that part of their history as well?
Brevoort: The history of both Wanda and Pietro is shrouded in a lot of mystery and mistaken assumptions, and has been virtually since day one. So I think you should definitely be wondering about all of it.
Nrama: And if we were to ask you directly if it's possible they're actually Inhumans, you'd reply...?
Brevoort: Uncanny Avengers #1 ships in January!
Nrama: Tom, finally, being just months before Avengers: Age of Ultron, one obvious inference of this development is that it may dramatically alter and perhaps bridge something of a significant mismatch between the Marvel Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Can you say whether any part of this is about making the MU and MCU more closely match up right before Wanda and Pietro's introduction into the MCU?
Brevoort: It’s all about us telling a story, as it always is.

The spell in question is quote below from the Newsarama article.
The spell she casts says, simply, “Find perch within the blood of my blood. Crush their bones! Boil their blood dry in their veins! Rupture their souls! END THE LINE--! Strike my family down!”
And with that… only Quicksilver falls. Magneto yet stands, unaffected by the spell.
“It’s a lie! Your life, all of this – a Lie! …You have no family, Magnus. You are truly alone. What sweet irony,” Scarlet Witch intones. “You can’t know how liberating it is to know there is no blood connection between us.”
Assuming the spell worked as intended (always merely an assumption with chaos magic in the Marvel Universe), it had an unintended effect: it may have revealed that Magneto is not in fact the blood father of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, something that has been Marvel canon for decades.
