RCV001836719 | SCV001949963 | pathogenic | Overgrowth syndrome and/or cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR pathway genes | 2022-02-12 | reviewed by expert panel | curation | The c.49G>A (NM_005465.7) variant in AKT3 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Glu17Lys). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). AKT3, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant resides within the pleckstrin homology domain of AKT3 that is defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen BMEP (PMID: 28969385) (PM1_Supporting). This variant has been shown to significantly increase phosphorylation levels in experiments with case and control cells of similar isogenic backgrounds indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 18813315) (PS3_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4; PMIDs: 28969385, 22500628, 22729223; identified in 4 individuals with neuroimaging demonstrating at least one large cerebral hemisphere with cortical malformation(s) and 7 tumor samples in the literature and COSMIC). Testing of unaffected and affected tissue show variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Moderate; PMID: 22500628). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PP2, PM1_P, PS3_P, PS4, PS2_M; 10 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021) |
