Genes affected
MITF (HGNC:7105): (melanocyte inducing transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 24, 2014Thr516Thr in exon 10 of MITF: This variant is not expected to have clinical sign ificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue and is not located with in the splice consensus sequence. It has been identified in 2.7% (120/4406) of A frican American chromosomes from a broad population by the NHLBI Exome Sequencin g Project (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS; dbSNP rs36118030). -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 06, 2018This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 04, 2016Variant summary: MITF c.1245G>A affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. 4/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect normal splicing. ESEfinder predicts changes of binding motifs for RNA splicing enhancers. This variant was found in 323/120562 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0026791, predominalty observed in African subpopulation in ExAC with MAF of 0.031 with 8 homozygotes. These frequencies significantly exceed the maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic MITF allele (0.0000125), suggesting this variant is benign. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications or clinical laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant was classified as Benign. -

Tietz syndrome Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This 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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
