Genes affected
FHL2 (HGNC:3703): (four and a half LIM domains 2) This gene encodes a member of the four-and-a-half-LIM-only protein family. Family members contain two highly conserved, tandemly arranged, zinc finger domains with four highly conserved cysteines binding a zinc atom in each zinc finger. This protein is thought to have a role in the assembly of extracellular membranes. Also, this gene is down-regulated during transformation of normal myoblasts to rhabdomyosarcoma cells and the encoded protein may function as a link between presenilin-2 and an intracellular signaling pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.48).
BP6
Variant 2-105386397-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-105386397-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 48320.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.099 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.011 (1677/152266) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0386 (1602/41544). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.037.
