RCV001061249 | SCV001225985 | pathogenic | Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia; Essential thrombocythemia | 2019-12-22 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp416*) in the MPL gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). A different variant c.1248G>A resulting in the same protein truncation (p.Trp416*) has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of aplastic anemia (PMID: 22180433). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Loss-of-function variants in MPL are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8073287, 11133753). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
