Genes affected

GFAP (HGNC:4235): (glial fibrillary acidic protein) This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.87).
• BP6: Variant 17-44907009-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-44907009-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 323604.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.202 is higher than 0.05.
