RCV000498817 | SCV000590278 | pathogenic | not provided | 2017-06-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.585-2 A>T splice site variant in the MPZ gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 4. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. The c.585-2 A>T variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). Although the c.585-2 A>T pathogenic variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with the diagnosis of a MPZ-related neuropathy in this individual. |
