Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina RCV000302567 SCV000434293 uncertain significance Periventricular heterotopia with microcephaly, autosomal recessive 2018-01-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.
Invitae RCV001861166 SCV002184804 uncertain significance not provided 2021-11-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is present in population databases (rs753508291, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change falls in intron 31 of the ARFGEF2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the ARFGEF2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ARFGEF2-related conditions. 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. 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 create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 338699).
