Invitae | RCV000632875 | SCV000754072 | pathogenic | Peutz-Jeghers syndrome | 2017-10-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is an in-frame deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 2-5 of the STK11 gene. It preserves the integrity of the reading frame. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. A similar deletion of exons 2-5 of the STK11 gene was reported in a family affected with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) (PMID: 27821076). Smaller in-frame deletions of exons 2-3 have been reported in many individuals and families affected with PJS (PMID: 20435009, 20623358, 16287113, 22775437, 25841653, 21118512). These deletions may represent one of the most common copy number variations reported in individuals with PJS worldwide, suggesting that loss of this region is deleterious for the structure and/or function of the STK11 protein (PMID: 25841653). |
