In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.

• Frequency: Genomes: not found (cov: 32)
• Consequence: QPCT NM_012413.4 synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Not reported in ClinVar
• Conservation: PhyloP100: 1.76

Genes affected

QPCT (HGNC:9753): (glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase) This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase, which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme is 86% identical to that of bovine glutaminyl cyclase. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.41).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=1.76 with no splicing effect.
