Genes affected
VRK1 (HGNC:12718): (VRK serine/threonine kinase 1) This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This gene is widely expressed in human tissues and has increased expression in actively dividing cells, such as those in testis, thymus, fetal liver, and carcinomas. Its protein localizes to the nucleus and has been shown to promote the stability and nuclear accumulation of a transcriptionally active p53 molecule and, in vitro, to phosphorylate Thr18 of p53 and reduce p53 ubiquitination. This gene, therefore, may regulate cell proliferation. This protein also phosphorylates histone, casein, and the transcription factors ATF2 (activating transcription factor 2) and c-JUN.

Pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1A Pathogenic:2Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 321 of the VRK1 protein (p.Arg321Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs772731615, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with VRK1-related conditions (PMID: 26583493, 31167812; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209205). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects VRK1 function (PMID: 31527692). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect, as the R321C variant results in reduced kinase activity (Martn-Doncel et al., 2019); Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24088041, 27281532, 26583493, 31527692, 34169149, 35641352, 32298515, 32579787, 31167812) -
