Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PM2
The NM_022081.6(HPS4):c.57dupT(p.Leu20SerfsTer3) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
HPS4 (HGNC:15844): (HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein component of biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complexes (BLOC). BLOC complexes are important for the formation of endosomal-lysosomal organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in this gene result in subtype 4 of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a form of albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.
