About GATA2

No gene-level summary was recorded for this case.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.
01The reasoning

How it was classified

The recorded framework is Not recorded. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.

Recorded applied criteria

No pathogenic criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.

Benign criteria applied · 4
BS1Strong
BS1 · strong

The variant has a total allele frequency of 0.366% (1033/282138 alleles) in gnomAD v2.1, which exceeds the 0.3% BS1 threshold. This frequency is greater than expected for GATA2 deficiency, a rare dominant disorder.

BS2Strong
BS2 · strong

Seventeen homozygotes are observed in gnomAD v2.1 (37 in gnomAD v4.1). GATA2 deficiency is a dominant disorder with high penetrance; the presence of homozygous individuals in a population database is incompatible with a pathogenic variant in this gene.

BP4Supporting
BP4 · supporting

Multiple computational predictors suggest no impact: SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no predicted splice alteration), REVEL score 0.401 (below 0.5 threshold for predicted damaging), and BayesDel score -0.00217913 (in the benign range).

BP6Supporting
BP6 · supporting

Eight clinical laboratory submissions in ClinVar (ID 343139) classify this variant as Likely benign (4 laboratories) or Benign (4 laboratories). Although review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' per submission, the consensus across multiple independent clinical laboratories supports a benign interpretation.

Recorded classification: Benign

gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: BS1 strong benign, BS2 strong benign, BP4 supporting benign, BP6 supporting benign; combination = 2 strong benign + 2 supporting benign, which maps to Benign.

Met Not met Not assessed Not applicable

NM_001145661.1:c.710G>A (p.Gly237Asp) in GATA2 is classified as Benign based on generic ACMG/AMP 2015 criteria.

This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 at an allele frequency of 0.366% (1033/282138 alleles, including 17 homozygotes), exceeding the BS1 threshold of 0.3% for a rare dominant disorder.

Seventeen homozygous individuals are observed in gnomAD v2.1 (37 in gnomAD v4.1). Homozygosity for a variant in a gene causing a highly penetrant dominant disorder (GATA2 deficiency) is strong evidence of a benign effect (BS2).

Multiple in silico predictors support a benign interpretation: SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta 0.00), REVEL score is 0.401 (below 0.5 threshold), and BayesDel score is -0.00217913 (benign range) (BP4).

Eight clinical laboratories in ClinVar classify this variant as Likely benign (4) or Benign (4), consistent with a benign interpretation (BP6).
