Genes affected

HOXC9 (HGNC:5130): (homeobox C9) This gene belongs to the homeobox family of genes. The homeobox genes encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene is one of several homeobox HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ENSG00000273049 (HGNC:):

HOXC6 (HGNC:5128): (homeobox C6) This gene belongs to the homeobox family, members of which encode a highly conserved family of transcription factors that play an important role in morphogenesis in all multicellular organisms. Mammals possess four similar homeobox gene clusters, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD, which are located on different chromosomes and consist of 9 to 11 genes arranged in tandem. This gene, HOXC6, is one of several HOXC genes located in a cluster on chromosome 12. Three genes, HOXC5, HOXC4 and HOXC6, share a 5' non-coding exon. Transcripts may include the shared exon spliced to the gene-specific exons, or they may include only the gene-specific exons. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for HOXC6. Transcript variant two includes the shared exon, and transcript variant one includes only gene-specific exons. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -11 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.45).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.495 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0179 (2723/152360) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0262 (1781/68020). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0252. There are 39 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1333 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 2723 AD gene.
