Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 8P and 5B. PVS1BS1_SupportingBS2

The NM_002055.5(GFAP):c.934G>T(p.Glu312*) 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 was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 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. GnomAdExome4 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 GnomAdExome4. There are 11 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

BS2

High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 26 AD gene.
