Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_StrongBP6_ModerateBS2
The NM_003690.5(PRKRA):c.*31G>A variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00035 in 1,612,376 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★).
PRKRA (HGNC:9438): (protein activator of interferon induced protein kinase EIF2AK2) This gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.79).

Variant 2-178432066-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-178432066-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 894434.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
