Genes affected
WRN (HGNC:12791): (WRN RecQ like helicase) This gene encodes a member of the RecQ subfamily of DNA helicase proteins. The encoded nuclear protein is important in the maintenance of genome stability and plays a role in DNA repair, replication, transcription and telomere maintenance. This protein contains a N-terminal 3' to 5' exonuclease domain, an ATP-dependent helicase domain and RQC (RecQ helicase conserved region) domain in its central region, and a C-terminal HRDC (helicase RNase D C-terminal) domain and nuclear localization signal. Defects in this gene are the cause of Werner syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accelerated aging and an elevated risk for certain cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.54).
BP6
Variant 8-31059200-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr8-31059200-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 238121.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.37 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00125 (190/152274) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00426 (177/41572). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00374. There are 2 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 89 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 2 AR gene
