Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Variant summary: ALMS1 c.9819C>G (also known as c.9825C>G) alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0023 in 249364 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0029 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.3 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ALMS1 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.0022), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.9819C>G in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (2x Benign/likely benign ; 1x uncertain significance). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
