Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 10P and 1B. PVS1PM2BS1_Supporting

The NM_001376022.1(EPB41):c.-617-2A>G variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000062 in 1,614,174 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

Genes affected

EPB41 (HGNC:3377): (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1) The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7, offset of -17, new splice context is: ttctatcttctttttaatAGcaa. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00000547 (8/1461850) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.00139 (8/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00069. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 4 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
