Genes affected

TAFAZZIN (HGNC:11577): (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase) This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DNASE1L1 (HGNC:2957): (deoxyribonuclease 1 like 1) This gene encodes a deoxyribonuclease protein that shows high sequence similarity to DNase I. The encoded protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum and modified by N-linked glycosylation. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding the same protein have been observed.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.89).
• BS2: High Hemizygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 4 XL gene

The c.-4G>A variant is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the TAZ gene. This variant results from a G to A substitution 4 bases upstream from the first translated codon. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
