Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_001400082.1(TCERG1):c.-83G>T variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000497 in 1,610,976 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
TCERG1 (HGNC:15630): (transcription elongation regulator 1) This gene encodes a nuclear protein that regulates transcriptional elongation and pre-mRNA splicing. The encoded protein interacts with the hyperphosphorylated C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II via multiple FF domains, and with the pre-mRNA splicing factor SF1 via a WW domain. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.22G>T (p.G8W) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the TCERG1 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 22, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 8 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
