Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_014003.4(DHX38):​c.3651C>T​(p.Thr1217Thr) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,459,782 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T1217T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

DHX38 (HGNC:17211): (DEAH-box helicase 38) DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the DEAD/H box family of splicing factors. This protein resembles yeast Prp16 more closely than other DEAD/H family members. It is an ATPase and essential for the catalytic step II in pre-mRNA splicing process. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

PMFBP1 (HGNC:17728): (polyamine modulated factor 1 binding protein 1) Involved in spermatogenesis. Located in sperm connecting piece. Implicated in spermatogenic failure 31. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
