RCV000402018 | SCV000330075 | pathogenic | not provided | 2015-12-08 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1140dupC pathogenic variant in the NFIX gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.1140dupC variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Serine 381, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 50 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ser381LeufsX50. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.1140dupC variant was not observed in approximately 6400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Protein truncating pathogenic variants downstream of this variant have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with NFIX-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the pathogenicity of more upstream truncating variants. We interpret c.1140dupC as a pathogenic variant. |
