Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP3 BS1 BS2

The NM_001388492.1(HTT):​c.78_110dupGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCA​(p.Gln27_Gln37dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

HTT (HGNC:4851): (huntingtin) Huntingtin is a disease gene linked to Huntington's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by loss of striatal neurons. This is thought to be caused by an expanded, unstable trinucleotide repeat in the huntingtin gene, which translates as a polyglutamine repeat in the protein product. A fairly broad range of trinucleotide repeats (9-35) has been identified in normal controls, and repeat numbers in excess of 40 have been described as pathological. The huntingtin locus is large, spanning 180 kb and consisting of 67 exons. The huntingtin gene is widely expressed and is required for normal development. It is expressed as 2 alternatively polyadenylated forms displaying different relative abundance in various fetal and adult tissues. The larger transcript is approximately 13.7 kb and is expressed predominantly in adult and fetal brain whereas the smaller transcript of approximately 10.3 kb is more widely expressed. The genetic defect leading to Huntington's disease may not necessarily eliminate transcription, but may confer a new property on the mRNA or alter the function of the protein. One candidate is the huntingtin-associated protein-1, highly expressed in brain, which has increased affinity for huntingtin protein with expanded polyglutamine repeats. This gene contains an upstream open reading frame in the 5' UTR that inhibits expression of the huntingtin gene product through translational repression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

• BP3: Nonframeshift variant in repetitive region in NM_001388492.1
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00294 (388/131882) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00358 (48/13410). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00314. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 180 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 0. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 3 AR,AD gene
