Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_032858.3(MAEL):​c.12T>A​(p.Arg4=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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: 33)
• Consequence: MAEL NM_032858.3 synonymous
• Clinical Significance: Not reported in ClinVar
• Conservation: PhyloP100: -0.0390

Genes affected

MAEL (HGNC:25929): (maelstrom spermatogenic transposon silencer) Predicted to enable sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in gamete generation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and piRNA metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; and negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in piP-body. Predicted to be active in P granule and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.53).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.039 with no splicing effect.
