Description
The BMPR1A p.Asp380= variant was identified in 1 of 96 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.01) from one individual with Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia; however, the variant is identified as a polymorphism (Lesca 2006). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs35572415) as "With Likely benign allele", ClinVar (5x benign, 1x likely benign), Clinvitae, and LOVD 3.0 (4x). The variant was not identified in Cosmic or the MutDB database. The variant was identified in control databases in 3968 of 276746 chromosomes (34 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.01 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 92 of 24020 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Other in 129 of 6460 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Latino in 477 of 34416 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), European in 2719 of 126260 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Ashkenazi Jewish in 149 of 10150 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), Finnish in 154 of 25792 chromosomes (freq: 0.006), and South Asian in 248 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.008). The variant was not observed in the East Asian population. A study by Pyatt 2006 investigating Juvenile polyposis syndrome listed this variant as a polymorphism. The p.Asp380= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
