Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 28, 2016Variant summary: The c.3729G>A (alternative name c.3735G>A) in ALMS1 gene is a synonymous change that involves a non-conserved nucleotide. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect a normal splicing, however no functional studies supporting these predictions were published at the time of evaluation. The variant is present in the large control population dataset of ExAC at a frequency 0.0004 (48/120640 chrs tested), predominantly in individuals of African origin (0.0045; 44/9792 chrs tested). This frequency exceeds the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic variant in ALMS1 gene (0.0022). The variant is present in a control population dataset of gmomAD predominantly in individuals of African origin: 0.0045 (117/ 25854 chrs); however, since the data set is still in beta mode, this data was not captured in pbGP. The c. 3729G>A has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via published reports, but is cited as Likely Benign by a reputable database/clinical laboratory. The variant seems to be an ethnic specific polymorphism, therefore it has been classified as Benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 01, 2019This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
