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 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 5 AD,Digenic gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine with proline at codon 304 of the GDF3 protein (p.Ser304Pro). The serine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between serine and proline. This variant is present in population databases (rs774437736, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GDF3-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
