Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The NM_000116.5(TAFAZZIN):c.110-17T>G variant causes a splice polypyrimidine tract, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000166 in 1,206,372 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are no hemizygote samples in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
DNASE1L1 (HGNC:2957): (deoxyribonuclease 1 like 1) This gene encodes a deoxyribonuclease protein that shows high sequence similarity to DNase I. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and modified by N-linked glycosylation. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding the same protein have been observed.

TAFAZZIN (HGNC:11577): (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase) This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
