The variant received 2 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_Moderate

The NM_017780.4(CHD7):c.5405-17G>A variant causes a intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene CHD7 is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 2 oncogene, 3 driver citations). The gene CHD7 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 2 oncogene, 3 driver citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000329267: Published functional studies show variant leads to an in-frame insertion of 5 amino acids in a non-repeat region (Vuorela et al., 2007" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

Genes affected

CHD7 (HGNC:20626): (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7) This gene encodes a protein that contains several helicase family domains. Mutations in this gene have been found in some patients with the CHARGE syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]
