Genes affected

SOHLH1 (HGNC:27845): (spermatogenesis and oogenesis specific basic helix-loop-helix 1) This gene encodes one of testis-specific transcription factors which are essential for spermatogenesis, oogenesis and folliculogenesis. This gene is located on chromosome 9. Mutations in this gene are associated with nonobstructive azoospermia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.104811 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.7, offset of 18, new splice context is: atattcttgcttcctccaAGgaa. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
