RCV000494683 | SCV000582552 | pathogenic | not provided | 2015-09-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1521delC deletion in the PCDH19 gene is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. It was not observed in approximately 6,400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although the c.1521delC variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, many other frameshift variants downstream of this position have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with PCDH19-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). We interpret the c.1521delC deletion as a pathogenic variant. |
