Genes affected

GDF5 (HGNC:4220): (growth differentiation factor 5) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein regulates the development of numerous tissue and cell types, including cartilage, joints, brown fat, teeth, and the growth of neuronal axons and dendrites. Mutations in this gene are associated with acromesomelic dysplasia, brachydactyly, chondrodysplasia, multiple synostoses syndrome, proximal symphalangism, and susceptibility to osteoarthritis.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.89).
• BP6: Variant 20-35433650-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr20-35433650-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 895466.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=3, Benign=2}.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000249 (38/152320) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00658 (34/5164). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00484. There are 1 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 22 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -
