Genes affected

SCAF4 (HGNC:19304): (SR-related CTD associated factor 4) This gene likely encodes a member of the arginine/serine-rich splicing factor family. A similar protein in Rat appears to bind the large subunit of RNA polymerase II and provide a link between transcription and pre-mRNA splicing. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

This sequence change in SCAF4 is a frameshift variant that may cause a premature stop codon, p.(Asp1085Glyfs*18), that is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and remove <10% of the protein in a gene where loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PMID: 32730804). This variant is observed in at least 3 healthy controls (gnomAD v2.1). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG/AMP Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as LIKELY BENIGN. Following criteria are met: BS2, PVS1_Moderate -
