Genes affected
A2M (HGNC:7): (alpha-2-macroglobulin) The protein encoded by this gene is a protease inhibitor and cytokine transporter. It uses a bait-and-trap mechanism to inhibit a broad spectrum of proteases, including trypsin, thrombin and collagenase. It can also inhibit inflammatory cytokines, and it thus disrupts inflammatory cascades. Mutations in this gene are a cause of alpha-2-macroglobulin deficiency. This gene is implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its ability to mediate the clearance and degradation of A-beta, the major component of beta-amyloid deposits. A related pseudogene, which is also located on the p arm of chromosome 12, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.025762713 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.7, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: atgtcttcttcctcactcAGagt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
BP6
Variant 12-9093580-CTATGG-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-9093580-CTATGG-C is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 402328.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BA1
GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.202 is higher than 0.05.
