Genes affected

GJA1 (HGNC:4274): (gap junction protein alpha 1) This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive craniometaphyseal dysplasia and heart malformations. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.4).
• BP6: Variant 6-121435782-C-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr6-121435782-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 355157.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1, Benign=2}.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00284 (432/152272) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00963 (400/41540). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00885. There are 2 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 198 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 2 SD gene

This 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, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this 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. -
