ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.028553693 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-119245430-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-119245430-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2671669.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The splice donor c.237+1G>A variant in the USP53 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant affects the GT donor splice site downstream of exon 6. This variant is predicted to cause a loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants has been previously reported to be disease causing (Zhang et al., 2020). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
