Genes affected

COA8 (HGNC:20492): (cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 8) This gene encodes a protein that localizes to the mitochondria, where it stimulates the release of cytochrome c, thereby promoting programmed cell death. Mutations in this gene have been found in individuals with mitochondrial complex IV deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

ENSG00000256500 (HGNC:):

KLC1 (HGNC:6387): (kinesin light chain 1) Conventional kinesin is a tetrameric molecule composed of two heavy chains and two light chains, and transports various cargos along microtubules toward their plus ends. The heavy chains provide the motor activity, while the light chains bind to various cargos. This gene encodes a member of the kinesin light chain family. It associates with kinesin heavy chain through an N-terminal domain, and six tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motifs are thought to be involved in binding of cargos such as vesicles, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex. Thus, kinesin light chains function as adapter molecules and not motors per se. Although previously named "kinesin 2", this gene is not a member of the kinesin-2 / kinesin heavy chain subfamily of kinesin motor proteins. Extensive alternative splicing produces isoforms with different C-termini that are proposed to bind to different cargos; however, the full-length nature and/or biological validity of most of these variants have not been determined.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.006197691).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00115 (175/152300) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.00359 (55/15308). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00283. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 103 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 34. This position FAILED quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR gene

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 3 of the APOPT1 protein (p.Pro3Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs374070748, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APOPT1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1526292). 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: "Probably 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.8C>G (p.P3R) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the APOPT1 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 8, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 3 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
