Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points: 0P and 8B. BP4_StrongBS2
The ENST00000261368.13(SNCAIP):c.-46-6G>A variant causes a splice region, splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000183 in 1,472,384 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
SNCAIP (HGNC:11139): (synuclein alpha interacting protein) This gene encodes a protein containing several protein-protein interaction domains, including ankyrin-like repeats, a coiled-coil domain, and an ATP/GTP-binding motif. The encoded protein interacts with alpha-synuclein in neuronal tissue and may play a role in the formation of cytoplasmic inclusions and neurodegeneration. A mutation in this gene has been associated with Parkinson's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
