RCV000494260 | SCV000583336 | likely pathogenic | not provided | 2017-05-31 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the PRRT2 gene. The c.577dupG variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The c.577dupG variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The c.577dupG variant gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamic acid 193, changes this amino acid to a Glysine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 7 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu193GlyfsX7. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. |
