Variant summary

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

The NM_004618.5(TOP3A):​c.2832T>C​(p.Thr944Thr) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. T944T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

TOP3A (HGNC:11992): (DNA topoisomerase III alpha) This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of a single strand of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus reducing the number of supercoils and altering the topology of DNA. This enzyme forms a complex with BLM which functions in the regulation of recombination in somatic cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

TOP3A Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• microcephaly, growth restriction, and increased sister chromatid exchange 2

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Ambry Genetics, PanelApp Australia, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P
• progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal recessive 5

  Inheritance: AR Classification: STRONG, LIMITED Submitted by: PanelApp Australia, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.83).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.47 with no splicing effect.
