Genes affected

BEST1 (HGNC:12703): (bestrophin 1) This gene encodes a member of the bestrophin gene family. This small gene family is characterized by proteins with a highly conserved N-terminus with four to six transmembrane domains. Bestrophins may form chloride ion channels or may regulate voltage-gated L-type calcium-ion channels. Bestrophins are generally believed to form calcium-activated chloride-ion channels in epithelial cells but they have also been shown to be highly permeable to bicarbonate ion transport in retinal tissue. Mutations in this gene are responsible for juvenile-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (VMD2), also known as Best macular dystrophy, in addition to adult-onset vitelliform macular dystrophy (AVMD) and other retinopathies. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
• BP6: Variant 11-61950756-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr11-61950756-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 1215192.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.011 (1682/152294) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0383 (1593/41546). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0368. There are 33 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 802 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 33 AD,AR gene
