Genes affected
MCPH1 (HGNC:6954): (microcephalin 1) This gene encodes a DNA damage response protein. The encoded protein may play a role in G2/M checkpoint arrest via maintenance of inhibitory phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1 and premature chromosome condensation syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0067489743).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000497 (727/1461832) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.00589 (34/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00434. There are 5 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 406 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 5 AD,AR gene

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 261 of the MCPH1 protein (p.Asp261Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs199700538, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with MCPH1-related conditions (PMID: 20949544). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 211449). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
