A priori interpretation | possibly not affecting function |
Comments | In silico analysis points to inconsistent results, with Mutation Taster, Mutation Assessor and several combined algorithms indicating that this variant is possibly benign, whereas Polyphen-2 and SIFT alone indicate that the variant might be damaging. For this variant, the overall allele frequency reported in ExAC is about 0,02% (0,0001937), with 11 hemizygotes identified on 23,999 individuals of European (non Finnish) descent (0,04%). It should be noted that individuals with severe pediatric disease have been removed from the ExAC database. Mental retardation, X-linked, syndromic 15 (Cabezas type) is characterized primarily by short stature, hypogonadism, and abnormal gait. Overall, especially based on allele frequency data, we think that there is a given likelyhood that this variant is not affecting the protein function, maybe representing a rare benign variant. |

Disclaimer: the free mutation interpretation service is complimentary and offered on a research basis only. Appropriate interpretation is possible only in presence of patient’s detailed clinical information and complete sequencing data. Raw data file may also be a necessary support in certain instances. Because of this, the above interpretation may be correct, partially correct or wrong. Since the originally submitted mutation might have been written in a wrong format, it is recommended to check again the correspondence between the mutation identified in this page and the originally submitted one.
