Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The NM_001388419.1(KALRN):c.3430-4A>G variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,800 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/2 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
KALRN (HGNC:4814): (kalirin RhoGEF kinase) Huntington's disease (HD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons, is caused by an expansion of a polyglutamine tract in the HD protein huntingtin. This gene encodes a protein that interacts with the huntingtin-associated protein 1, which is a huntingtin binding protein that may function in vesicle trafficking. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
