Genes affected

MITF (HGNC:7105): (melanocyte inducing transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: c.559+9C>G affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in an intronic change. Mutation taster predicts this variant to be a polymorphism. 4/5 in-silico tool predicts no significant changes on RNA splicing. ESEfinder predicts gain of binding motifs for RNA slicing enhancers. This variant was found in 196/120978 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0016201, which is more than 129 times of maximal expected frequency of a pathogenic allele (0.0000125), suggesting this variant is benign. . This variant has not been, to our knowledge, reported in affected individuals via publications/ clinical laboratories, or databases; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant was classified as Benign. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
