| Ambry Genetics | RCV004995491 | SCV005617337 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome; Cardiovascular phenotype | 2024-07-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.K156* variant (also known as c.466A>T), located in coding exon 5 of the LZTR1 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 466. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 5. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss-of-function variants in LZTR1 are related to an increased risk for schwannomas and autosomal recessive Noonan syndrome; however, such associations with autosomal dominant Noonan syndrome have not been observed (Piotrowski A et al. Nat Genet. 2014 Feb;46:182-7; Yamamoto GL et al. J Med Genet. 2015 Jun;52:413-21; Johnston JJ et al. Genet Med. 2018 10;20:1175-1185). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is pathogenic for an increased risk of LZTR1-related schwannomatosis (SWN) and would be expected to cause autosomal recessive Noonan syndrome when present along with a second pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant on the other allele; however, the association of this alteration with autosomal dominant Noonan syndrome is unlikely. |
