ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 7 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.5332 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.1552 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to complex neurodevelopmental disorder.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.836
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000197 (3/152144) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.000196 (3/15274). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000529. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 3 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 23 AD gene.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.745C>T (p.R249C) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 8) of the ANO4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 745, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 249 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
