Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_181809.4(BMP8A):c.*1408T>A variant causes a 3 prime UTR change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
BMP8A (HGNC:21650): (bone morphogenetic protein 8a) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein may play a role in development of the reproductive system. This gene may have arose from a gene duplication event and its gene duplicate is also present on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
PPIEL (HGNC:33195): (peptidylprolyl isomerase E like (pseudogene)) This transcribed pseudogene is related to PPIE (Gene ID: 10450). Expression of this pseudogene may be downregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Differential DNA methylation of this locus may be associated with intellectual disability and bipolar disorder in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
