Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 2P and 11B. PM1BP4_ModerateBP6BS1BS2

The NM_000163.5(GHR):​c.535C>T​(p.Arg179Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00458 in 1,595,748 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). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R179H) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
GHR (HGNC:4263): (growth hormone receptor) This gene encodes a member of the type I cytokine receptor family, which is a transmembrane receptor for growth hormone. Binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to receptor dimerization and the activation of an intra- and intercellular signal transduction pathway leading to growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Laron syndrome, also known as the growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a disorder characterized by short stature. In humans and rabbits, but not rodents, growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular ligand-binding domain from the mature growth hormone receptor protein. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_000163.5
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.085534275).
BP6
Variant 5-42699919-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-42699919-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 8637.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00402 (612/152228) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00759 (116/15290). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00647. There are 3 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 307 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 3 AR,Unknown,AD gene
