Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Strong

The NM_002055.5(GFAP):c.992T>C(p.Leu331Pro) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as not provided (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L331L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

GFAP (HGNC:4235): (glial fibrillary acidic protein) This gene encodes one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Coil 2B (size 120) in uniprot entity GFAP_HUMAN there are 26 pathogenic changes around while only 6 benign (81%) in NM_002055.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
