Genes affected
IGHMBP2 (HGNC:5542): (immunoglobulin mu DNA binding protein 2) This gene encodes a helicase superfamily member that binds a specific DNA sequence from the immunoglobulin mu chain switch region. Mutations in this gene lead to spinal muscle atrophy with respiratory distress type 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.82).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000664 (97/1461542) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00105 (47/44722). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000811. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 43 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Submissions by phenotype

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 12, 2020The c.1756+4C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 12 in the IGHMBP2 gene. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1;C4015349:Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2S Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 18, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 12 of the IGHMBP2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the IGHMBP2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs778913429, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with IGHMBP2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 466584). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

not specified Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 28, 2018This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
