Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -11 ACMG points: 0P and 11B. BP4_ModerateBP6BS1BS2

The NM_000744.7(CHRNA4):c.1634C>T(p.Thr545Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000064 in 1,610,432 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T545T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
CHRNA4 (HGNC:1958): (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 4 subunit) This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1337341).
BP6
Variant 20-63349777-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr20-63349777-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 98320.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=4, Uncertain_significance=1, not_provided=1}.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000693 (101/1458186) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.000174 (1/5760). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000607. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 43 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 74. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome at 15 AD gene.
