Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP3BP6BS2

The NM_001291867.2(NHS):​c.302_337dupAGGCGGCGCCCGCAGCCGGCGAGGCGTCCTCGGCGG​(p.Glu101_Ala112dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000467 in 1,055,580 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. There are 173 hemizygotes in GnomAD. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A113A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
NHS (HGNC:7820): (NHS actin remodeling regulator) This gene encodes a protein containing four conserved nuclear localization signals. The encoded protein functions in eye, tooth, craniofacial and brain development, and it can regulate actin remodeling and cell morphology. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause Nance-Horan syndrome, and also X-linked cataract-40. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant, c.302_337dup, results in the insertion of 12 amino acid(s) of the NHS protein (p.Glu101_Ala112dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs398124607, gnomAD 0.08%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NHS-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96638). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
