Genes affected
 GRIK2  (HGNC:4580):  (glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 2) Glutamate receptors are the predominant excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the mammalian brain and are activated in a variety of normal neurophysiologic processes. This gene product belongs to the kainate family of glutamate receptors, which are composed of four subunits and function as ligand-activated ion channels. The subunit encoded by this gene is subject to RNA editing at multiple sites within the first and second transmembrane domains, which is thought to alter the structure and function of the receptor complex. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have also been described for this gene. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification
Classification was made for transcript
Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.52). 
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.004 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000069 (10/1449640) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.000301 (10/33244). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000162. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 5 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 27. This position passed quality control check.  Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
