Genes affected

MITF (HGNC:7105): (melanocyte inducing transcription factor) The protein encoded by this gene is a transcription factor that contains both basic helix-loop-helix and leucine zipper structural features. The encoded protein regulates melanocyte development and is responsible for pigment cell-specific transcription of the melanogenesis enzyme genes. Heterozygous mutations in the this gene cause auditory-pigmentary syndromes, such as Waardenburg syndrome type 2 and Tietz syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of -31, new splice context is: acatgggaattgttcaacAGtta. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 3-69949049-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-69949049-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 14271.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars. Variant chr3-69949049-A-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
