Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_006279.5(ST3GAL3):āc.25A>Cā(p.Asn9His) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000434 in 1,614,064 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (ā ). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N9S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
ST3GAL3 (HGNC:10866): (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsymdromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

The c.25A>C (p.N9H) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 1) of the ST3GAL3 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 25, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 9 to be replaced by a histidine (H). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
