Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2PP3_Moderate

The NM_006468.8(POLR3C):c.475C>T(p.Arg159Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,613,308 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R159H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The c.475C>T (p.R159C) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the POLR3C gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 475, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 159 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
