Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points: 4P and 16B. PP3_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBA1

The NM_006343.3(MERTK):​c.844G>A​(p.Ala282Thr) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00831 in 1,614,026 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 939 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A282A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
MERTK (HGNC:7027): (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
