Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4BS2
The NM_001377137.1(GBF1):c.106C>T(p.Arg36Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000419 in 1,431,570 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
GBF1 (HGNC:4181): (golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1) This gene encodes a member of the Sec7 domain family. The encoded protein is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that regulates the recruitment of proteins to membranes by mediating GDP to GTP exchange. The encoded protein is localized to the Golgi apparatus and plays a role in vesicular trafficking by activating ADP ribosylation factor 1. The encoded protein has also been identified as an important host factor for viral replication. Multiple transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.106C>T (p.R36W) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the GBF1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 106, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 36 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
