Genes affected
MFAP5 (HGNC:29673): (microfibril associated protein 5) This gene encodes a 25-kD microfibril-associated glycoprotein which is a component of microfibrils of the extracellular matrix. The encoded protein promotes attachment of cells to microfibrils via alpha-V-beta-3 integrin. Deficiency of this gene in mice results in neutropenia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionJan 03, 2022Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10% (PVS1_S). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:25434006, PS3_S). The variant has been reported to be associated with MFAP5 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000162199, PMID:25434006).Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 05, 2023Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects MFAP5 function (PMID: 25434006). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162199). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with MFAP5-related conditions (PMID: 25434006, 33824467). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs727502791, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg158*) in the MFAP5 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 16 amino acid(s) of the MFAP5 protein. -
