RCV001682617 | SCV001895909 | likely pathogenic | Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 7 | 2021-09-19 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.551G>T, p.Arg184Leu variant was identified in a Chinese patient with PCH7, who yet harbored another heterozygous splicing variant of c.237-2A>G . The splicing variant was inherited from mother, while the missense variant was de novo. TA clone sequencing confirmed the missense variant occurred on the paternal strand of the patient. The c.551G>T, p.Arg184Leu variant located at exon 6 of TOE1 was not present in the gnomAD database and has not been previously reported. Sequence analysis showed that the amino acid residue at position 184 is located within the Asp-Glu-Asp-Asp (DEDD) deadenylase domain, a mutation hotspot of TOE1. Conservation analysis indicates Arg 184 is highly conserved among various species.Moreover, analysis of the 3D structure revealed that this arginine to leucine mutation may disrupt the proper formation of the β-sheet in the secondary structure of TOE1 protein. VarCards predicted that the p.Arg184Leu variant would impair TOE1 function, according to SIFT (“Damaging”, score = 0.01), PolyPhen-2 (“Possibly damaging”, score = 0.89), MutationTaster (“Disease-causing”, score = 0.87), ClinPred (“Pathogenic”, score = 0.96), and CADD (“Damaging”, score = 24). According to the ACMG/AMP 2015 guideline (Richards et al., 2015), the c.551G>T, p.Arg184Leu variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PM1+ PM2+PM3+PP3). |
