Genes affected

TMEM237 (HGNC:14432): (transmembrane protein 237) The protein encoded by this gene is a tetraspanin protein that is thought to be involved in WNT signaling. Defects in this gene are a cause of Joubert syndrome-14. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

TMEM237 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.84).
• BP6: Variant 2-201640278-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-201640278-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 196307.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00703 (1071/152358) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.0247 (1026/41582). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0234. There are 9 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 524 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 9 AR gene

Joubert syndrome 14 Benign:2

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Jan 13, 2018	This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
