Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2 PP2

The NM_002576.5(PAK1):​c.1579C>T​(p.Leu527Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. L527H) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

PAK1 (HGNC:8590): (p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 1) This gene encodes a family member of serine/threonine p21-activating kinases, known as PAK proteins. These proteins are critical effectors that link RhoGTPases to cytoskeleton reorganization and nuclear signaling, and they serve as targets for the small GTP binding proteins Cdc42 and Rac. This specific family member regulates cell motility and morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with macrocephaly, seizures, and speech delay. Overexpression of this gene is also reported in many cancer types, and particularly in breast cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

PAK1 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• intellectual developmental disorder with macrocephaly, seizures, and speech delay

  Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG, MODERATE Submitted by: G2P, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the PAK1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 21 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.0036 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.8133 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual developmental disorder with macrocephaly, seizures, and speech delay.
