Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BP4_Strong
The NM_001377230.1(PLEKHA1):c.*11400T>A variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
PLEKHA1 (HGNC:14335): (pleckstrin homology domain containing A1) This gene encodes a pleckstrin homology domain-containing adapter protein. The encoded protein is localized to the plasma membrane where it specifically binds phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate. This protein may be involved in the formation of signaling complexes in the plasma membrane. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 5.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]
