RCV000159498 | SCV000209451 | pathogenic | Mowat-Wilson syndrome | 2014-03-11 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This mutation is denoted as c.178_190delinsGTT at the cDNA level and p.Thr60ValfsX12 (T60VfsX12) at the protein level; it is in exon 3 of the ZEB2 gene (NM_014795.3). The normal sequence with the bases that are deleted in braces and the bases that are inserted in brackets is: GGAG{ACGAGTCCAGCTA}[GTT]GTGT. The c.178_190delinsGTT mutation in the ZEB2 gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Threonine 60, changes this amino acid to a Valine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 12 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Thr60ValfsX12. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this mutation has not been reported previously to our knowledge, other frameshift mutations have been reported in the ZEB2 gene. Therefore, the presence of c.178_190delinsGTT is consistent with the diagnosis of Mowat-Wilson syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder. The variant is found in RETT-EPI panel(s). |
