Variant summary: TBX1 c.1049G>A (p.Gly350Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00082 (1096 variant alleles) in 1345326 control chromosomes in the gnomAD v4 database. c.1049G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with aortic arch anomalies or congenital heart defects (Gong_2001, Zodanu_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with TBX1-Related Disorders. Although reported in the literature in individuals affected with aortic arch anomalies or congenital heart defects (Gong_2001, Zodanu_2021), to our knowledge no penetrant association of this variant with TBX1-related disorders and no experimental evidence has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29500247, 11748311, 29250159, 33995479). Five submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified this variant as uncertain significance (n=3) and likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
