RCV000486884 | SCV000570424 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2016-05-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.130_131dupAC variant in the DNMT3A gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.130_131dupAC variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 45, changes this amino acid to an Arginine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 28 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala45ArgfsX28. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.130_131dupAC variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The c.130_131dupAC variant is a strong candidate for a pathogenic variant, however the possibility this is a benign variant cannot be excluded. |
