Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2
The NM_001376376.1(CELF1):āc.357A>Gā(p.Ile119Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000621 in 1,610,820 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (ā ). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. I119V) has been classified 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.357A>G (p.I119M) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the CELF1 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 357, causing the isoleucine (I) at amino acid position 119 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
