Genes affected
EIF2B1 (HGNC:3257): (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B subunit alpha) This gene encodes one of five subunits of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2B (EIF2B), a GTP exchange factor for eukaryotic initiation factor 2 and an essential regulator for protein synthesis. Mutations in this gene and the genes encoding other EIF2B subunits have been associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
PP5
Variant 12-123630396-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-123630396-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 4123.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000178 (260/1461872) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000227 (252/1112010). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000203. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 131 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
