Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2BP4_ModerateBP6_ModerateBP7
The NM_018723.4(RBFOX1):c.114C>A(p.Pro38=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000342 in 1,461,856 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P38P) has been classified as Likely benign.
RBFOX1 (HGNC:18222): (RNA binding fox-1 homolog 1) The Fox-1 family of RNA-binding proteins is evolutionarily conserved, and regulates tissue-specific alternative splicing in metazoa. Fox-1 recognizes a (U)GCAUG stretch in regulated exons or in flanking introns. The protein binds to the C-terminus of ataxin-2 and may contribute to the restricted pathology of spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). Ataxin-2 is the product of the SCA2 gene which causes familial neurodegenerative diseases. Fox-1 and ataxin-2 are both localized in the trans-Golgi network. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]
Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
?
BP4 - Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.22).
BP6
?
BP6 - Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 16-7518233-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-7518233-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 460029.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
BP7
?
BP7 - A synonymous (silent) variant for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site AND the nucleotide is not highly conserved
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.213 with no splicing effect.
