Genes affected
METTL23 (HGNC:26988): (methyltransferase 23, arginine) The protein encoded by this gene functions as a transcription factor regulator in the transcriptional pathway for human cognition. It is a partner of the alpha subunit of the GA-binding protein transcription factor. Mutations in this gene cause mild autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.

PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.794
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000332 (480/1446530) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000431 (476/1103454). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000399. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 224 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 30. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
