Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PP3_Strong

The NM_001136472.2(LITAF):c.272C>G(p.Pro91Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000123 in 1,461,862 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P91L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

LITAF (HGNC:16841): (lipopolysaccharide induced TNF factor) Lipopolysaccharide is a potent stimulator of monocytes and macrophages, causing secretion of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and other inflammatory mediators. This gene encodes lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF-alpha factor, which is a DNA-binding protein and can mediate the TNF-alpha expression by direct binding to the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene. The transcription of this gene is induced by tumor suppressor p53 and has been implicated in the p53-induced apoptotic pathway. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1C (CMT1C) and may be involved in the carcinogenesis of extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

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. 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 disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1309397). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LITAF-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 91 of the LITAF protein (p.Pro91Arg). -
