Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_Strong

The NM_015973.5(GAL):​c.73_81+37delTGGTCGCCGGTAAGTGCGGGGCGCGTCTCCTCCGAGCGAAGGGGAC​(p.Trp25_Pro27del) variant causes a splice donor, conservative inframe deletion, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000813 in 1,598,930 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. There is a variant allele frequency bias in the population database for this variant (GnomAdExome4), which may indicate mosaicism or somatic mutations in the reference population data. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

Genes affected
GAL (HGNC:4114): (galanin and GMAP prepropeptide) This gene encodes a neuroendocrine peptide that is widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous systems and also the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, adrenal gland and urogenital tract. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate two mature peptides: galanin and galanin message-associated peptide (GMAP). Galanin has diverse physiological functions including nociception, feeding and energy homeostasis, osmotic regulation and water balance. GMAP has been demonstrated to possess antifungal activity and hypothesized to be part of the innate immune system. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
