Genes affected

GAS8 (HGNC:4166): (growth arrest specific 8) This gene includes 11 exons spanning 25 kb and maps to a region of chromosome 16 that is sometimes deleted in breast and prostrate cancer. The second intron contains an apparently intronless gene, C16orf3, that is transcribed in the opposite orientation. This gene is a putative tumor suppressor gene. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]

URAHP (HGNC:43695): (urate (hydroxyiso-) hydrolase, pseudogene) Predicted to enable hydroxyisourate hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in allantoin metabolic process; purine-containing compound catabolic process; and urate catabolic process. Predicted to be active in peroxisome.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.84).

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GAS8-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the GAS8 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the GAS8 protein. -
