Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PS3PM1PM2PM5PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_005262.3(GFER):​c.581G>A​(p.Arg194His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000992 in 1,612,956 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000251537: "Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect (protein instability and altered localization)" (PMID:20593814, 19409522)" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R194C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
GFER (HGNC:4236): (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration) The hepatotrophic factor designated augmenter of liver regeneration (ALR) is thought to be one of the factors responsible for the extraordinary regenerative capacity of mammalian liver. It has also been called hepatic regenerative stimulation substance (HSS). The gene resides on chromosome 16 in the interval containing the locus for polycystic kidney disease (PKD1). The putative gene product is 42% similar to the scERV1 protein of yeast. The yeast scERV1 gene had been found to be essential for oxidative phosphorylation, the maintenance of mitochondrial genomes, and the cell division cycle. The human gene is both the structural and functional homolog of the yeast scERV1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
