Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000820117 SCV000960812 pathogenic Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 1; Anterior segment dysgenesis 4 2018-09-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is expected to disrupt the functionally conserved OAR or aristaless domain, which is located in the final 39 amino acids of the PITX2 protein. This domain mediates the interaction with a number of proteins that are required for PITX2 transcriptional transactivation activity (PMID: 10490637, 18045789, 15728254). While functional studies have not been performed to directly test the effect of this variant on PITX2 protein function, this suggests that disruption of this region of the protein is causative of disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with clinical features of Axenfeld Reiger syndrome (PMID: 28513611). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in the last intron (intron 4) of the PITX2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product.
