Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_002055.5(GFAP):​c.232G>T​(p.Asp78Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D78N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 18 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 19 uncertain in NM_002055.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-44915253-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 16179.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.97
• PP5: Variant 17-44915255-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-44915255-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2138058.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
