Genes affected

FTL (HGNC:3999): (ferritin light chain) This gene encodes the light subunit of the ferritin protein. Ferritin is the major intracellular iron storage protein in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of 24 subunits of the heavy and light ferritin chains. Variation in ferritin subunit composition may affect the rates of iron uptake and release in different tissues. A major function of ferritin is the storage of iron in a soluble and nontoxic state. Defects in this light chain ferritin gene are associated with several neurodegenerative diseases and hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome. This gene has multiple pseudogenes.

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.41).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000131 (2/152186) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.000414 (2/4832). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000729. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 1 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Nucleotide substitution has no predicted effect on splicing and is not conserved across species; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; No data available from ethnically-matched control populations to assess the frequency of this variant; The variant occurs in a regulatory region and is not expected to create a new ATG initiation codon, however, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of the variant in this individual is uncertain. -
