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

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0070183575).
• BP6: Variant 17-44910144-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-44910144-G-A is described in ClinVar as Benign. ClinVar VariationId is 66449.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0212 (3235/152298) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0298 (2030/68038). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0288. There are 54 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 1544 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 3235 AD gene.
