Genes affected

ARHGEF18 (HGNC:17090): (Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 18) Rho GTPases are GTP binding proteins that regulate a wide spectrum of cellular functions. These cellular processes include cytoskeletal rearrangements, gene transcription, cell growth and motility. Activation of Rho GTPases is under the direct control of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). The protein encoded by this gene is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and belongs to the Rho GTPase GEF family. Family members share a common feature, a Dbl (DH) homology domain followed by a pleckstrin (PH) homology domain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2018]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.00000462 (5/1082186) while in subpopulation SAS AF= 0.000255 (5/19582). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0001. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 3 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck.
