Genes affected

MAPK8IP3 (HGNC:6884): (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 interacting protein 3) The protein encoded by this gene shares similarity with the product of Drosophila syd gene, required for the functional interaction of kinesin I with axonal cargo. Studies of the similar gene in mouse suggested that this protein may interact with, and regulate the activity of numerous protein kinases of the JNK signaling pathway, and thus function as a scaffold protein in neuronal cells. The C. elegans counterpart of this gene is found to regulate synaptic vesicle transport possibly by integrating JNK signaling and kinesin-1 transport. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.5, offset of -40, new splice context is: ccaGTacga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 6: Cadd, dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai, Eigen, phyloP100way_vertebrate [when BayesDel_addAF, BayesDel_noAF, Dann, MutationTaster was below the threshold]
• PP5: Variant 16-1706658-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-1706658-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1806197.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with neurodevelopmental disorder with or without variable brain abnormalities (MIM#618443). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0211 - Canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0705 - No comparable canonical splice variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0807 - This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1204 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status not tested but assumed). (SP) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
