to HGVS Nomenclature
To HGVS,
I would like to ask if you could help me clarify the best way to properly name a variant I'm currently classifying in the CYP24A1 gene. The BAM file shows the deletion of three basepairs: NM_000782.5:c.428_430del - the c.428 corresponds to the second basepair of the triplet in p.143, which leads to a predicted in frame deletion of three base pairs and the creation of a single, new triplet. However, the software (and ClinVar) described this deletion as p.(Glu143del), which I do not believe to be the case. Also, I tried to simulate this variant in Alamut and it also returned the same result, but with the warning of non-HGVS compliant. Would it be more correct to describe it as a delins?
Thank you for your attention.
Very best wishes,
