RCV000454124 | SCV000538026 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary factor VIII deficiency disease | 2016-01-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.3144G>A (p.Trp1048*) nonsense variant in the F8 gene has not been previously reported; however, pathogenic variants occurring in the same codon and leading to the same nonsense change have previously been reported in individuals affected with severe Hemophilia A (Leuer et al., 2001; Hill et al., 2005). This c.3144G>A variant is predicted to cause a protein termination in exon 14 (out of a total of 26 exons in the coding sequence). Nonsense variants have been described in the F8 gene in several affected individuals (including nonsense variants downstream of this p.Trp1048* variant) and are, therefore, a common mechanism of disease. This c.3144G>A has not been reported in the population databases (Exome Sequencing Project [ESP], 1000 Genomes, and ExAC). In silico algorithms predict this variant has a deleterious effect (GERP = 4.42; CADD = 40). Therefore, this collective evidence supports the classification of the c.3144G>A (p.Trp1048*) as an X-linked recessive Likely Pathogenic variant for Hemophilia A. |
