Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM1PM2PM4_Supporting
The NM_000053.4(ATP7B):c.3662_3664delGGG(p.Gly1221del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G1221G) has been classified as Likely benign.
ATP7B (HGNC:870): (ATPase copper transporting beta) This gene is a member of the P-type cation transport ATPase family and encodes a protein with several membrane-spanning domains, an ATPase consensus sequence, a hinge domain, a phosphorylation site, and at least 2 putative copper-binding sites. This protein is a monomer, and functions as a copper-transporting ATPase which exports copper out of the cells, such as the efflux of hepatic copper into the bile. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms with distinct cellular localizations, have been characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Wilson disease which is characterized by copper accumulation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2019]

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_000053.4
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM4
Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000053.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
