Description

This variant occurs in a canonical splice site (acceptor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. It was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018) and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score for this variant, it could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene and cDNA change. No publications were found based on this search. Due to the potential impact of splice acceptor variants and the lack of clarifying evidence, this variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for Rotor Syndrome. Note: bi-allelic variants in both the SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 genes combined have been shown to cause Rotor syndrome. For an individual to be affected with Rotor syndrome, they must carry a pathogenic variant in both copies of the SLCO1B1 gene and in both copies of the SLCO1B3 gene. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.
