Genes affected
ACTG1 (HGNC:144): (actin gamma 1) Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and in maintenance of the cytoskeleton. Three main groups of actin isoforms have been identified in vertebrate animals: alpha, beta, and gamma. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins co-exist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility. Actin gamma 1, encoded by this gene, is a cytoplasmic actin found in all cell types. Mutations in this gene are associated with DFNA20/26, a subtype of autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural progressive hearing loss and also with Baraitser-Winter syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -21 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.8).
BP6
Variant 17-81511576-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-81511576-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 128271.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-4.39 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000525 (80/152378) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.000649 (27/41592). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000458. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 36 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
