Genes affected
PRMT7 (HGNC:25557): (protein arginine methyltransferase 7) This gene encodes a member of the protein arginine N-methyltransferase family of proteins. The encoded enzyme transfers single methyl groups to arginine residues to generate monomethylarginines on histone proteins as well as other protein substrates. This enzyme plays a role in a wide range of biological processes, including neuronal differentiation, male germ line imprinting, small nuclear ribonucleoprotein biogenesis, and regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene underlie multiple related syndromes in human patients characterized by intellectual disability, short stature and other features. The encoded protein may promote breast cancer cell invasion and metastasis in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is classified as Likely pathogenic. Evidence in support of pathogenic classification: Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v4: 44 heterozygote(s), 0 homozygote(s)); This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported in the literature in two families with PRMT7-related disease in a compound heterozygous state, with authors suggesting that it may induce aberrant splicing, and in an additional compound heterozygous individual in DECIPHER (PMID: 26437029); This variant has limited evidence for segregation with disease. This variant has been reported in three affected siblings (PMID: 26437029); Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tool and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. In silico predictions for the amino acid substitution are inconclusive and conservation is uninformative. Additional information: Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from Arg to Thr, and affects the last nucleotide of exon 3; This variant is heterozygous; This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease; Alternative amino acid change(s) at the same position are present in gnomAD (Highest alelle count: v4: 1 heterozygote(s), 0 homozygote(s)). - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant; No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity; Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region; Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with short stature, brachydactyly, intellectual developmental disability, and seizures (MIM#617157); Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual.
