The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs568335048) but was not identified in ClinVar. The variant was identified in control databases in 138 of 282466 chromosomes (3 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0004886 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 107 of 30616 chromosomes (freq: 0.003495), Other in 4 of 7210 chromosomes (freq: 0.000555), European (non-Finnish) in 24 of 128864 chromosomes (freq: 0.000186), Latino in 2 of 35428 chromosomes (freq: 0.000056) and East Asian in 1 of 19950 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), but was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, or European (Finnish) populations. Functional data showed that the p.R653T vairant accelerated ClC-2 gating under physiological, high ATP conditions (Stölting_2013_PMID:23632988). The p.Arg653Thr residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
