Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_018975.4(TERF2IP):​c.60G>A​(p.Leu20Leu) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts 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. L20L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

TERF2IP (HGNC:19246): (TERF2 interacting protein) Enables G-rich strand telomeric DNA binding activity and phosphatase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of NIK/NF-kappaB signaling; regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and regulation of protein modification process. Located in chromosome, telomeric region; cytosol; and nuclear body. Part of shelterin complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

KARS1 (HGNC:6215): (lysyl-tRNA synthetase 1) Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are a class of enzymes that charge tRNAs with their cognate amino acids. Lysyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimer localized to the cytoplasm which belongs to the class II family of tRNA synthetases. It has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in the human autoimmune diseases, polymyositis or dermatomyositis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

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=-0.55).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.722 with no splicing effect.
