Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points: 2P and 8B. PM2BP4_StrongBS1
The NM_001376013.1(EPB41):āc.120A>Cā(p.Gln40His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000316 in 1,614,066 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q40Q) has been classified as Benign.
EPB41 (HGNC:3377): (erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1) The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -6 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.06379178).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000335 (49/1461886) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0000432 (48/1112010). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000334. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 29 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position pass quality control queck.
