Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 6P and 5B. PS3PP3PP5BS1_SupportingBS2

The NM_025152.3(NUBPL):​c.815-27T>C variant causes a intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00373 in 1,571,878 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 22 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000251972: Expression studies of the c.815-27 T>C sequence change found that this variant impairs mRNA splicing resulting in a 80% decrease in complex I assembly and function (Tucker et al., 2012" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. There are indicators that this mutation may affect the branch point..

Genes affected
NUBPL (HGNC:20278): (NUBP iron-sulfur cluster assembly factor, mitochondrial) This gene encodes a member of the Mrp/NBP35 ATP-binding proteins family. The encoded protein is required for the assembly of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (complex I), an oligomeric enzymatic complex located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000251972: Expression studies of the c.815-27 T>C sequence change found that this variant impairs mRNA splicing resulting in a 80% decrease in complex I assembly and function (Tucker et al., 2012; Wydro et al., 2013).; SCV000262906: Functional analysis of cultured fibroblasts from a patient bearing the [c.166G>A (p.G56R); c.815-27T>C] complex allele in trans with a complex rearrangement, as well as a control patient who was heterozygous for only the c.815-27T>C alteration, demonstrated an aberrant RT-PCR pattern with three distinct transcripts: wild-type, a lengthened transcript resulting from a cryptic splice site which introduces an additional 72 bp and results in a frameshift (p.G272Vfs*11), as well as a truncated transcript generated due to exon 10 skipping resulting in a frameshift (p.D273Qfs*31) (Tucker, 2012). Analysis by qRT-PCR and Western blot showed that the heterozygous control with only the c.815-27T>C alteration had reduced mRNA expression (74%) and protein expression (59%) compared to wild type controls, and the patient with the [c.166G>A (p.G56R); c.815-27T>C] complex allele and complex rearrangement on the other allele had more significant reduction in mRNA expression (15%) and undetectable protein expression (Tucker, 2012).; SCV006079628: Functional studies of the c.815-27T>C variant resulted in lower expression of the NUBPL protein leading to an 80% decrease in complex I assembly and function (PMID: 22072591, 23828044, 29982452).; SCV001423626: "This alteration is supported by well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies to have a damaging effect on protein function or splicing [PS3]."; SCV006101083: "Fibroblasts from patients with this variant produces diminished residual complex I activity (PMID: 20818383)."
PP3
Splicing predictors support a deleterious effect. Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
PP5
Variant 14-31850092-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-31850092-T-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 50317.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00339 (516/152374) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00442 (301/68042). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00401. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 271 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 3 AR gene
