Invitae | RCV000549052 | SCV000652084 | uncertain significance | Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, dominant intermediate E | 2017-06-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 11 of the INF2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the INF2 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with an INF2-related disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes 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, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on INF2 function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
