Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM1 PM2 PP2 BP4

The NM_021830.5(TWNK):​c.1172G>T​(p.Arg391Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R391C) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

TWNK (HGNC:1160): (twinkle mtDNA helicase) This gene encodes a hexameric DNA helicase which unwinds short stretches of double-stranded DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and, along with mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding protein and mtDNA polymerase gamma, is thought to play a key role in mtDNA replication. The protein localizes to the mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial nucleoids. Mutations in this gene cause infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (IOSCA) and progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and are also associated with several mitochondrial depletion syndromes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

TWNK Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 3

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_021830.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 36 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.6071 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.58 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 3, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 7 (hepatocerebral type), Perrault syndrome, autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, hepatocerebrorenal form.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.4134809).
