Variant 2-111898780-C-A details in Genebe, Genetics Data Aggregator

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2BP4_StrongBP7

The NM_006343.3(MERTK):c.45C>A(p.Pro15=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000138 in 1,445,700 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P15P) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with MERTK-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 15 of the MERTK mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the MERTK protein. -
