Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The ENST00000373800(EPB41):c.-595C>G variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000041 in 1,461,884 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
EPB41 (HGNC:3377): (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1) The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

Collection Method: clinical testing
In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the EPB41 gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the EPB41 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs768577854, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EPB41-related conditions. -
