Genes affected
PAX2 (HGNC:8616): (paired box 2) PAX2 encodes paired box gene 2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. The central feature of this transcription factor gene family is the conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional supression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1. Mutations within PAX2 have been shown to result in optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -12 ACMG points.

PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 28 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.4895 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.8687 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to familial idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, renal coloboma syndrome, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.011975735).
BP6
Variant 10-100824660-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr10-100824660-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 156301.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00115 (175/152204) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00412 (171/41518). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00361. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 89 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
BS2

Has been reported previously in an individual with retinal dystrophy (Carss et al., 2017); Has also been reported previously in an unaffected parent of a child anophthalmia but was not observed in the affected child (Gelb et al., 2001; Bower et al., 2012); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; In addition, in silico splice predictors suggest this variant may lead to abnormal gene splicing; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11180607, 22213154, 28041643) -
