Genes affected

GDF3 (HGNC:4218): (growth differentiation factor 3) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein plays a role ocular and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, coloboma, and skeletal abnormalities in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.6).
• BP6: Variant 12-7690277-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-7690277-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 3056871.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.718 with no splicing effect.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
