Genes affected

ULK4 (HGNC:15784): (unc-51 like kinase 4) This gene encodes a member of the unc-51-like serine/threonine kinase (STK) family. Members of this protein family play a role in neuronal growth and endocytosis. The encoded protein is likely involved in neurite branching, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) indicate an association of variations in this gene with blood pressure and hypertension. Sequence variations in this gene may also be be associated with psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Pseudogenes associated with this gene have been identified and are located on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=6.3316344E-7).
• BP6: Variant 3-41800224-A-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr3-41800224-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 403583.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.962 is higher than 0.05.
