Invitae | RCV000816613 | SCV000957130 | uncertain significance | Hereditary hyperferritinemia with congenital cataracts; Neuroferritinopathy | 2021-08-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 3-4 of the FTL gene. The 5' boundary is likely confined to intron 2. The 3' end of this event is unknown as it extends through the termination codon beyond the assayed region for this gene and may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to lead to nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to alter mRNA translation or result in a truncated protein product. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis (PMID: 26633542). 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. |
