Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points: 0P and 21B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBP7BS1BS2
The NM_003919.3(SGCE):c.1072C>T(p.Leu358=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000141 in 1,612,986 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L358L) has been classified as Likely benign.
SGCE (HGNC:10808): (sarcoglycan epsilon) This gene encodes the epsilon member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane proteins that are components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which link the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Unlike other family members which are predominantly expressed in striated muscle, the epsilon sarcoglycan is more broadly expressed. Mutations in this gene are associated with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome. This gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the paternal allele. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.5).
BP6
?
BP6 - Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 7-94598956-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr7-94598956-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 259196.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
?
BP7 - A synonymous (silent) variant for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site AND the nucleotide is not highly conserved
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=1.34 with no splicing effect.
BS1
?
BS1 - Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.000133 (195/1460726) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00423 (189/44692). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00374. There are 1 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 81 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 29. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
?
BS2 - Observed in a healthy adult individual for a recessive (homozygous), dominant (heterozygous), or X-linked (hemizygous) disorder, with full penetrance expected at an early age
