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.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.45).

BP6

Variant 17-44911406-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-44911406-C-T is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 323611.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.369 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00465 (708/152360) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0167 (693/41594). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0156. There are 7 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 342 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High AC in GnomAd4 at 708 AD gene.
