Ambry Genetics RCV002363205 SCV002661491 benign Inborn genetic diseases 2015-06-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV002469308 SCV002765953 benign not specified 2022-11-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: ASPA c.703G>A (p.Glu235Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0017 in 282776 control chromosomes (gnomAD), predominantly at a frequency of 0.019 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 9 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2.4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ASPA causing Canavan Disease phenotype (0.0079), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.703G>A in individuals affected with Canavan Disease and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as uncertain significance and two as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign.
