Genes affected

IL6 (HGNC:6018): (interleukin 6) This gene encodes a cytokine that functions in inflammation and the maturation of B cells. In addition, the encoded protein has been shown to be an endogenous pyrogen capable of inducing fever in people with autoimmune diseases or infections. The protein is primarily produced at sites of acute and chronic inflammation, where it is secreted into the serum and induces a transcriptional inflammatory response through interleukin 6 receptor, alpha. The functioning of this gene is implicated in a wide variety of inflammation-associated disease states, including suspectibility to diabetes mellitus and systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Elevated levels of the encoded protein have been found in virus infections, including COVID-19 (disease caused by SARS-CoV-2). [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.74).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00112 (171/152302) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.0264 (137/5190). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0228. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 98 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 171 AD gene.
