Genes affected

WWOX (HGNC:12799): (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) This gene encodes a member of the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) protein family. This gene spans the FRA16D common chromosomal fragile site and appears to function as a tumor suppressor gene. Expression of the encoded protein is able to induce apoptosis, while defects in this gene are associated with multiple types of cancer. Disruption of this gene is also associated with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 12. Disruption of a similar gene in mouse results in impaired steroidogenesis, additionally suggesting a metabolic function for the protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.9).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0247 (3758/152250) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0422 (1752/41548). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0405. There are 49 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1846 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 49 AR,AD gene
