Genes affected

UCHL1 (HGNC:12513): (ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the peptidase C12 family. This enzyme is a thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This gene is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Parkinson disease.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.42).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000105 (16/152240) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.000386 (16/41462). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000241. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 8 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 16 AD gene.

This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the UCHL1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the UCHL1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs375157748, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with UCHL1-related conditions. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
