BACKGROUND: Population-scale databases majorly contribute to variant interpretation. The recently released Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) v4 offers a >5-fold increased sample size compared to v2.1.1. Pathogenic variants absent from v2.1.1 are now registered in v4 at a considerable rate. The implications on variant interpretation in dystonia are unknown. METHODS: All curated variants linked to the most common dominant forms of isolated dystonia were extracted from the International Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorder Society Gene database. We compared variant population-frequencies and gene constraint metrics between gnomAD v2.1.1 and v4. RESULTS: The majority of dystonia-causing variants (192/247, 77.7%) remained absent from the newer gnomAD version. Of 219 variants absent from v2.1.1, 27 (12.3%) appeared for the first time in v4.1, including well-established pathogenic alleles. Gene constraints for GNAL and KMT2B significantly decreased in v4. CONCLUSIONS: A growing number of dystonia-linked alleles are seen in gnomAD v4. The presence in population-scale data does not preclude pathogenicity. © 2024 The Author(s).
