Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2

The NM_017575.5(SMG6):c.3884G>A(p.Arg1295Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000558 in 1,613,828 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 (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1295W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

SMG6 (HGNC:17809): (SMG6 nonsense mediated mRNA decay factor) This gene encodes a component of the telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex responsible for the replication and maintenance of chromosome ends. The encoded protein also plays a role in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) pathway, providing the endonuclease activity near the premature translation termination codon that is needed to initiate NMD. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

The c.3884G>A (p.R1295Q) alteration is located in exon 17 (coding exon 17) of the SMG6 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3884, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1295 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
