Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_173560.4(RFX6):​c.2039C>A​(p.Thr680Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00178 in 1,614,168 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 8 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign 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. T680A) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
RFX6 (HGNC:21478): (regulatory factor X6) The nuclear protein encoded by this gene is a member of the regulatory factor X (RFX) family of transcription factors. Studies in mice suggest that this gene is specifically required for the differentiation of islet cells for the production of insulin, but not for the differentiation of pancreatic polypeptide-producing cells. It regulates the transcription factors involved in beta-cell maturation and function, thus, restricting the expression of the beta-cell differentiation and specification genes. Mutations in this gene are associated with Mitchell-Riley syndrome, which is characterized by neonatal diabetes with pancreatic hypoplasia, duodenal and jejunal atresia, and gall bladder agenesis.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.01639241).
BP6
Variant 6-116927180-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr6-116927180-C-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 212052.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00105 (160/152304) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00207 (141/68022). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00179. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 74 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 8 AR gene
