Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 1P and 4B. PP3BS2
The NM_001376376.1(CELF1):c.1172A>G(p.Tyr391Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000496 in 1,613,958 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
CELF1 (HGNC:2549): (CUGBP Elav-like family member 1) Members of the CELF/BRUNOL protein family contain two N-terminal RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains, one C-terminal RRM domain, and a divergent segment of 160-230 aa between the second and third RRM domains. Members of this protein family regulate pre-mRNA alternative splicing and may also be involved in mRNA editing, and translation. This gene may play a role in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) via interactions with the dystrophia myotonica-protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.1166A>G (p.Y389C) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 11) of the CELF1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 1166, causing the tyrosine (Y) at amino acid position 389 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
