Genes affected

MYH11 (HGNC:7569): (myosin heavy chain 11) The protein encoded by this gene is a smooth muscle myosin belonging to the myosin heavy chain family. The gene product is a subunit of a hexameric protein that consists of two heavy chain subunits and two pairs of non-identical light chain subunits. It functions as a major contractile protein, converting chemical energy into mechanical energy through the hydrolysis of ATP. A chromosomal rearrangement involving this gene is associated with acute myeloid leukemia of the M4Eo subtype. Mutations in this gene are associated with visceral myopathy, megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome 2, and familial thoracic aortic aneurysm 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

NDE1 (HGNC:17619): (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1) This gene encodes a member of the nuclear distribution E (NudE) family of proteins. The encoded protein is localized at the centrosome and interacts with other centrosome components as part of a multiprotein complex that regulates dynein function. This protein plays an essential role in microtubule organization, mitosis and neuronal migration. Mutations in this gene cause lissencephaly 4, a disorder characterized by lissencephaly, severe brain atrophy, microcephaly, and severe cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -

Variant summary: The c.4527C>T variant affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in no amino acid change. One in-silico tool predicts damaging outcome for this variant. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant does not affect any ESE site. This variant is found in 332/121398 control chromosomes (2 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0027348, which is about 2188 times of the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0000013), suggesting this variant is benign. In addition, one clinical laboratory classified this variant as benign. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant was classified as benign. -
