Genes affected
IL6ST (HGNC:6021): (interleukin 6 cytokine family signal transducer) The protein encoded by this gene is a signal transducer shared by many cytokines, including interleukin 6 (IL6), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), and oncostatin M (OSM). This protein functions as a part of the cytokine receptor complex. The activation of this protein is dependent upon the binding of cytokines to their receptors. vIL6, a protein related to IL6 and encoded by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, can bypass the interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R) and directly activate this protein. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this gene plays a critical role in regulating myocyte apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.75).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0268 (4080/152250) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0408 (2777/67986). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0396. There are 81 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1931 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 81 AR,AD gene
