Genetic Variant GFAP:p.Leu357Gln (chr17-44911293-A-T) – ACMG Classification: Uncertain_significance (1 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 5P and 4B. PM1PM5PP3BS2

The NM_002055.5(GFAP):c.1070T>A(p.Leu357Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000192 in 1,614,030 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. L357P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.
