Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PM1PM2PM5BP4
The NM_006164.5(NFE2L2):c.241G>T(p.Gly81Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G81S) has been classified as Pathogenic.
NFE2L2 (HGNC:7782): (NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2) This gene encodes a transcription factor which is a member of a small family of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) proteins. The encoded transcription factor regulates genes which contain antioxidant response elements (ARE) in their promoters; many of these genes encode proteins involved in response to injury and inflammation which includes the production of free radicals. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been characterized for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.
PM1
?
PM1 - Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_006164.5
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
?
PM5 - Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-177234076-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 445149.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3923434).
