Genes affected

FTO (HGNC:24678): (FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase) This gene is a nuclear protein of the AlkB related non-haem iron and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase superfamily but the exact physiological function of this gene is not known. Other non-heme iron enzymes function to reverse alkylated DNA and RNA damage by oxidative demethylation. Studies in mice and humans indicate a role in nervous and cardiovascular systems and a strong association with body mass index, obesity risk, and type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0135 (2054/152318) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.047 (1954/41568). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0453. There are 54 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1022 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 54 AR gene
