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,

Dear Thais,

the predicted consequences of variant NC_000020.11:g.54172931_54172933del NM_000782.5:c.428_430del are r.(428_430del) p.(Glu143del).  I am not sure why you think these predicted consequences are not correct. Also both VariantValidator and Mutalyzer give the same predicted consequences.

Best regards,
