Genes affected
GLUL (HGNC:4341): (glutamate-ammonia ligase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the glutamine synthetase family. It catalyzes the synthesis of glutamine from glutamate and ammonia in an ATP-dependent reaction. This protein plays a role in ammonia and glutamate detoxification, acid-base homeostasis, cell signaling, and cell proliferation. Glutamine is an abundant amino acid, and is important to the biosynthesis of several amino acids, pyrimidines, and purines. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital glutamine deficiency, and overexpression of this gene was observed in some primary liver cancer samples. There are six pseudogenes of this gene found on chromosomes 2, 5, 9, 11, and 12. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).
BP6
Variant 1-182385755-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-182385755-C-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 293945.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00334 (509/152268) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00529 (360/68016). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00484. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 246 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR,AD gene
