While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs763168158, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FKBP14-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 966849). 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. This variant disrupts a region of the FKBP14 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Glu191del) have been observed in individuals with FKBP14-related conditions (PMID: 27149304). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. 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. |
