Genes affected

PNPLA2 (HGNC:30802): (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 2) This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the first step in the hydrolysis of triglycerides in adipose tissue. Mutations in this gene are associated with neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.79).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000854 (13/152256) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000147 (10/68038). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000791. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 4 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
