Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points: 0P and 12B. BP4_StrongBS1BS2
The NM_018486.3(HDAC8):c.-5G>A variant causes a 5 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000417 in 1,197,628 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 16 hemizygotes in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
HDAC8 (HGNC:13315): (histone deacetylase 8) Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class I of the histone deacetylase family. It catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.65).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000433 (47/1086614) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0000541 (45/831761). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000412. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 16 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 29.
