Genes affected

GFAP (HGNC:4235): (glial fibrillary acidic protein) This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points.

PP3

MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.954

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000287 (42/1461780) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0000351 (39/1111912). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000263. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 19 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 42 AD gene.
