RCV000338656 | SCV000330154 | pathogenic | not provided | 2016-11-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.919delA variant in the CHRNB1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Isoleucine 307, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 54 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ile307LeufsX54. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.919delA variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret c.919delA as a pathogenic variant. |
