Genes affected

PNMT (HGNC:9160): (phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase) The product of this gene catalyzes the last step of the catecholamine biosynthesis pathway, which methylates norepinephrine to form epinephrine (adrenaline). The enzyme also has beta-carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity. This gene is thought to play a key step in regulating epinephrine production. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

PNMT (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.55).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.01 with no splicing effect.
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.143 is higher than 0.05.
