The variant received -2 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PM2BP4_Strong

The NM_001562.4(IL18):c.-368G>T variant causes a upstream gene change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000658 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 152,054 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000147. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

Genes affected

ENSG00000255292 (HGNC:):

IL18 (HGNC:5986): (interleukin 18) The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine of the IL-1 family that is constitutively found as a precursor within the cytoplasm of a variety of cells including macrophages and keratinocytes. The inactive IL-18 precursor is processed to its active form by caspase-1, and is capable of stimulating interferon gamma production, and of regulating both T helper (Th) 1 and Th2 responses. This cytokine has been implicated in the injury of different organs, and in potentially fatal conditions characterized by a cytokine storm. In humans, IL-18 gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Very rare in gnomAD for AR/unknown gene (popmax AF < threshold/10) — PM2; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000147 — very rare for unknown gene (threshold 0.001) — PM2 moderate.
	BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact		Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Strong).
