RCV002015970 | SCV002295588 | uncertain significance | Hereditary hyperferritinemia with congenital cataracts; Neuroferritinopathy | 2022-01-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the FTL gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the FTL protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs768867643, gnomAD 0.02%). 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FTL-related conditions. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. |
