Genes affected

BDNF (HGNC:1033): (brain derived neurotrophic factor) This gene encodes a member of the nerve growth factor family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. Binding of this protein to its cognate receptor promotes neuronal survival in the adult brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of the stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

BDNF-AS (HGNC:20608): (BDNF antisense RNA)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.59).
• BP6: Variant 11-27657844-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr11-27657844-A-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 3356097.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
