| Invitae | RCV000686076 | SCV000813579 | uncertain significance | Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, dominant intermediate E | 2018-11-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change falls in intron 15 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. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with INF2-related disease. Nucleotide substitutions within 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 is not likely to affect RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. |
