Genes affected
MGME1 (HGNC:16205): (mitochondrial genome maintenance exonuclease 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein necessary for the maintenance of mitochondrial genome synthesis. The encoded protein is a RecB-type exonuclease and primarily cleaves single-stranded DNA. Defects in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome-11. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
OVOL2 (HGNC:15804): (ovo like zinc finger 2) This gene encodes a member of the evolutionarily conserved ovo-like protein family. Mammalian members of this family contain a single zinc finger domain composed of a tetrad of C2H2 zinc fingers with variable N- and C-terminal extensions that contain intrinsically disordered domains. Members of this family are involved in epithelial development and differentiation. Knockout of this gene in mouse results in early embryonic lethality with phenotypes that include neurectoderm expansion, impaired vascularization, and heart anomalies. In humans, allelic variants of this gene have been associated with posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.008896202).
BP6
Variant 20-17975704-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr20-17975704-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 445604.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00429 (653/152084) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00581 (395/68006). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00534. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 327 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 40 AR gene
