Genes affected

IFNA6 (HGNC:5427): (interferon alpha 6) Predicted to enable cytokine activity and type I interferon receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including B cell activation; lymphocyte activation involved in immune response; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of anogenital venereal wart. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

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