RCV002466653 | SCV002761593 | likely pathogenic | Saethre-Chotzen syndrome | 2020-01-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | PM1, PM2, PM5, PP1 The TWIST1 c.352C>A variant is a single nucleotide change from a cytosine to an adenine at position 352 which is predicted to alter the amino acid arginine at position 118 in the protein to serine. This variant in exon 1 is in the Helix-loop-helix-DNA-binding domain. The variant has not been reported in dbSNP and is absent from population databases (PM2). The Arg118Ser variant has been previously reported in a patient with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (PMID:19952666) (PP1). Molecular dynamics simulations studies suggest that the Arg118 residue is critical for the formation of TWIST1-DNA complex structures (PMID: 23527594), but the functional effect of an Arg118Ser substitution was not investigated (PM1 applied as the residue is a critical part of the domain). The variant has not been reported in the ClinVar or LOVD disease databases, but there are multiple reports of other (likely) pathogenic missense variants at Arg118: Arg118Cys (PMID: 11854168); Arg118Gly (PMID: 29304373); Arg118His (PMID: 9259286); Arg118Pro (PMID: 16251895) (PM5). Computational predictions support a deleterious effect (PP3 not applied as PM5 applied already). |
