Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_006343.3(MERTK):​c.2593C>T​(p.Arg865Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00215 in 1,614,190 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 8 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R865Q) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0067528486).
BP6
Variant 2-112028457-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-112028457-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 194960.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0019 (289/152318) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00207 (141/68030). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00179. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 171 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 7 AD,AR gene
