Genes affected

UCHL1 (HGNC:12513): (ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the peptidase C12 family. This enzyme is a thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This gene is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Parkinson disease.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.954 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-41257002-A-AC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-41257002-A-AC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3767302.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
