Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 1P and 3B. PP3BP4_ModerateBS1_Supporting

The NM_001080472.4(FITM2):​c.353C>T​(p.Thr118Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000268 in 1,614,176 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T118T) has been classified as Likely benign.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

PP3
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 7: BayesDel_addAF, BayesDel_noAF, Cadd, Dann, Eigen, MutationAssessor, phyloP100way_vertebrate [when AlphaMissense, max_spliceai, MetaRNN, MutationTaster was below the threshold]
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1688444).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000617 (94/152300) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00425 (65/15302). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00342. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 48 alleles in the male GnomAd4 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
