Genes affected

POLR2B (HGNC:9188): (RNA polymerase II subunit B) This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Pol II), a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase that catalyzes the transcription of DNA into precursors of mRNA, snRNA and microRNA. This subunit and the largest subunit form opposite sides of the center cleft of Pol II. Deletion of the flap loop region of this subunit results in a decrease in the rate of transcriptional elongation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.37).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.22 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (SAS) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.448 is higher than 0.05.
