Genes affected
WDR62 (HGNC:24502): (WD repeat domain 62) This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

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

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1333518).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000752 (1081/1437480) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000927 (1021/1101526). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000879. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 492 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

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.82C>T (p.R28W) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the WDR62 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 82, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 28 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
