Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_013964.5(NRG1):c.1062-5C>A variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,496 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/2 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
NRG1 (HGNC:7997): (neuregulin 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell signaling and plays a critical role in the growth and development of multiple organ systems. An extraordinary variety of different isoforms are produced from this gene through alternative promoter usage and splicing. These isoforms are expressed in a tissue-specific manner and differ significantly in their structure, and are classified as types I, II, III, IV, V and VI. Dysregulation of this gene has been linked to diseases such as cancer, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (BPD). [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
