RCV000701787 | SCV000416826 | uncertain significance | Nemaline myopathy 2 | 2017-04-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The NEB c.18024+2T>C variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. A literature search was performed for the gene and cDNA change. No publications were found based on this search. This variant is not found in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the variant frequency, disease prevalence, disease penetrance, and inheritance mode, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease. Due to the potential impact of splice donor variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for autosomal recessive nemaline myopathy. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. |
Invitae | RCV000701787 | SCV000830605 | likely pathogenic | Nemaline myopathy 2 | 2018-05-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects donor splice site in intron 160 of the NEB gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with NEB-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 331413). Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in NEB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25205138). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
