Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2

The NM_000140.5(FECH):​c.163G>T​(p.Gly55Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0216 in 1,613,968 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 508 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G55S) has been classified as Benign.

Genes affected
FECH (HGNC:3647): (ferrochelatase) The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

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

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.002217114).
BP6
Variant 18-57580104-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr18-57580104-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 548.We mark this variant Benign, oryginal submission is: [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity].
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0203 (3081/152130) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.0512 (246/4802). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.046. There are 55 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1532 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 55 AD,AR gene
