Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 8P and 1B. PVS1BS1_Supporting

The NM_002055.5(GFAP):c.934G>T(p.Glu312Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000168 in 1,610,918 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E312E) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000178 (26/1458684) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.000605 (24/39682). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000416. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 11 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
