Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_004993.6(ATXN3):c.916_917insC(p.Gly306AlafsTer12) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
ATXN3 (HGNC:7106): (ataxin 3) Machado-Joseph disease, also known as spinocerebellar ataxia-3, is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder. The protein encoded by this gene contains (CAG)n repeats in the coding region, and the expansion of these repeats from the normal 12-44 to 52-86 is one cause of Machado-Joseph disease. There is a negative correlation between the age of onset and CAG repeat numbers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
