RCV001314758 | SCV001505302 | pathogenic | Gorlin syndrome; Medulloblastoma | 2021-10-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 11-12 of the SUFU gene, which includes the termination codon. This deletion extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to lead to nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to alter mRNA translation or result in a truncated protein product. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) (Invitae). This variant disrupts a region of the SUFU protein in which other variant(s) (Deletion of exon 11) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
