Genes affected

GDF3 (HGNC:4218): (growth differentiation factor 3) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein plays a role ocular and skeletal development. Mutations in this gene are associated with microphthalmia, coloboma, and skeletal abnormalities in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a disulfide_bond (size 65) in uniprot entity GDF3_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (80%) in NM_020634.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The c.944C>T (p.A315V) alteration is located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the GDF3 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 944, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 315 to be replaced by a valine (V). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
