Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPM2
The NM_020247.5(COQ8A):c.588+1_588+3delGTG variant causes a splice donor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 1/1 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
COQ8A (HGNC:16812): (coenzyme Q8A) This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein similar to yeast ABC1, which functions in an electron-transferring membrane protein complex in the respiratory chain. It is not related to the family of ABC transporter proteins. Expression of this gene is induced by the tumor suppressor p53 and in response to DNA damage, and inhibiting its expression partially suppresses p53-induced apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found; however, their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.21141975 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.8, offset of 27, new splice context is: gagGTagct. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
