Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points: 2P and 6B. PM1BP4BP6BS2

The NM_001003800.2(BICD2):c.1659G>A(p.Met553Ile) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000155 in 1,611,270 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M553R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

BICD2 (HGNC:17208): (BICD cargo adaptor 2) This gene is one of two human homologs of Drosophila bicaudal-D and a member of the Bicoid family. It has been implicated in dynein-mediated, minus end-directed motility along microtubules. It has also been reported to be a phosphorylation target of NIMA related kinase 8. Two alternative splice variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1659G>A (p.M553I) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the BICD2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1659, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 553 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
