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]

The c.1261C>T (p.R421W) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 12) of the PAK1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1261, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 421 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). The in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
