Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong

The NM_024086.4(METTL16):c.1309C>T(p.Arg437Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000031 in 1,611,596 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict 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. R437G) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The c.1309C>T (p.R437W) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 9) of the METTL16 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1309, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 437 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
