Genes affected

LTBP4 (HGNC:6717): (latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4) The protein encoded by this gene binds transforming growth factor beta (TGFB) as it is secreted and targeted to the extracellular matrix. TGFB is biologically latent after secretion and insertion into the extracellular matrix, and sheds TGFB and other proteins upon activation. Defects in this gene may be a cause of cutis laxa and severe pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and urinary abnormalities. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -19 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.32).
• BP6: Variant 19-40601522-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr19-40601522-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 226724.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-40601522-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.653 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00626 (952/152138) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.00954 (648/67952). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00893. There are 6 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 476 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck.
