RCV001008534 | SCV001168306 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2019-01-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.673dupT variant in the LOR gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. It was also not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The c.673dupT variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Tyrosine 225, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue, and creates a Stop codon at position 111 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Tyr225LeufsX111. This frameshift variant replaces the last 88 amino acid residues of the C-terminus of lorcrin with aberrant residues and elongates the protein. Other pathogenic frameshift variants in the tail region have been previously reported in patients with loricrin keratoderma, which were shown to cause accumulation of lorcrin in the nucleus (Stenson et al., 2014; Khalil et al., 2017). We interpret c.673dupT as a likely pathogenic variant. |
