Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_001159702.3(FHL1):c.-20C>G variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000911 in 1,098,179 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are no hemizygote samples in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars).
FHL1 (HGNC:3702): (four and a half LIM domains 1) This gene encodes a member of the four-and-a-half-LIM-only protein family. Family members contain two highly conserved, tandemly arranged, zinc finger domains with four highly conserved cysteines binding a zinc atom in each zinc finger. Expression of these family members occurs in a cell- and tissue-specific mode and these proteins are involved in many cellular processes. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. Multiple alternately spliced transcript variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
⚠️ The allele balance in gnomAD version 4 Exomes is significantly skewed from the expected value of 0.5.

⚠️ The allele balance in gnomAD4 Exomes is highly skewed from 0.5 (p-value = 0.000000), which strongly suggests a high chance of mosaicism in these individuals.
