ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 15-80173013-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-80173013-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 928612.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Tyrosinemia type I Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 29, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 928612). This variant is also known as IVS8–1G>C. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with tyrosinemia type 1 (PMID: 9633815, 12203990). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 8 of the FAH gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9101289, 9633815). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 07, 2019	Variant summary: The variant, FAH c.707-1G>C is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 3'- acceptor site. The variant was absent in 246268 control chromosomes (gnomAD) and has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Tyrosinemia Type 1 (Elpeleg_2002, Bergman_1998). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
