Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM1PP3BS1_Supporting

The NM_006343.3(MERTK):​c.2435A>C​(p.Tyr812Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000347 in 1,614,214 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y812C) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

PM1
In a domain Protein kinase (size 271) in uniprot entity MERTK_HUMAN there are 18 pathogenic changes around while only 4 benign (82%) in NM_006343.3
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.791
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000301 (44/1461890) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.00329 (19/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00216. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 16 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
