ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of 1, new splice context is: gaactctcccccatgtaaAGctt. Cryptic site results in frameshift 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;
PP5
Variant 15-80172148-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-80172148-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 188755.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the FAH gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in FAH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9101289, 9633815). This variant is present in population databases (rs771712041, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with tyrosinemia type 1 (PMID: 8557261). This variant is also known as IVS7-1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188755). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
