Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_ModerateBS2
The NM_007245.4(ATXN2L):c.526C>T(p.Arg176Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000781 in 1,614,056 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
ATXN2L (HGNC:31326): (ataxin 2 like) This gene encodes an ataxin type 2 related protein of unknown function. This protein is a member of the spinocerebellar ataxia (SCAs) family, which is associated with a complex group of neurodegenerative disorders. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.526C>T (p.R176W) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the ATXN2L gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 526, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 176 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
