Genes affected
EFEMP2 (HGNC:3219): (EGF containing fibulin extracellular matrix protein 2) A large number of extracellular matrix proteins have been found to contain variations of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) domain and have been implicated in functions as diverse as blood coagulation, activation of complement and determination of cell fate during development. The protein encoded by this gene contains four EGF2 domains and six calcium-binding EGF2 domains. This gene is necessary for elastic fiber formation and connective tissue development. Defects in this gene are cause of an autosomal recessive cutis laxa syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.29).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000375 (57/152186) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000705 (48/68044). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000546. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 20 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 AR,AD gene
