RCV001286076 | SCV001472599 | uncertain significance | Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II | 2020-02-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The PCNT c.8956G>A; p.Ala2986Thr variant (rs201877661), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 436229). This variant is found in the Latino population with an overall allele frequency of 0.06% (21/34318 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The alanine at codon 2986 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Furthermore, only truncating variants in PCNT have been associated with disease (Rauch 2008, Willems 2010). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely benign.

Invitae | RCV001857145 | SCV002206043 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2021-11-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2986 of the PCNT protein (p.Ala2986Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs201877661, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCNT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436229). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
