Invitae | RCV000797480 | SCV000937039 | pathogenic | Peutz-Jeghers syndrome | 2018-07-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 1-3 of the STK11 gene, which includes the initiator codon. The 5' end of this event is unknown as it extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. The 3' boundary is likely confined to intron 3 of the STK11 gene. This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. A similar deletion of exons 1-3 has been reported in several individuals affected with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PMID: 16648371, 20623358). Loss-of-function variants in STK11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15188174, 16287113). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
