Genes affected

POU4F3 (HGNC:9220): (POU class 4 homeobox 3) This gene encodes a member of the POU-domain family of transcription factors. POU-domain proteins have been observed to play important roles in control of cell identity in several systems. This protein is found in the retina and may play a role in determining or maintaining the identities of a small subset of visual system neurons. Defects in this gene are the cause of non-syndromic sensorineural deafness autosomal dominant type 15. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

LOC127814297 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.55).
• BP6: Variant 5-146339240-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-146339240-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 505344.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000138 (21/152336) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.00407 (21/5162). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00273. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 10 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd at 22 AD gene.
