Genes affected

PRKAR1A (HGNC:9388): (protein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit alpha) cAMP is a signaling molecule important for a variety of cellular functions. cAMP exerts its effects by activating the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which transduces the signal through phosphorylation of different target proteins. The inactive kinase holoenzyme is a tetramer composed of two regulatory and two catalytic subunits. cAMP causes the dissociation of the inactive holoenzyme into a dimer of regulatory subunits bound to four cAMP and two free monomeric catalytic subunits. Four different regulatory subunits and three catalytic subunits have been identified in humans. This gene encodes one of the regulatory subunits. This protein was found to be a tissue-specific extinguisher that down-regulates the expression of seven liver genes in hepatoma x fibroblast hybrids. Mutations in this gene cause Carney complex (CNC). This gene can fuse to the RET protooncogene by gene rearrangement and form the thyroid tumor-specific chimeric oncogene known as PTC2. A nonconventional nuclear localization sequence (NLS) has been found for this protein which suggests a role in DNA replication via the protein serving as a nuclear transport protein for the second subunit of the Replication Factor C (RFC40). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PRKAR1A c.682C>T (p.Arg228X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251178 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.682C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Carney Complex (Kirschner_2000, Courcoutsakis_2009, Libe_2010, Sikorska_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg228*) in the PRKAR1A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PRKAR1A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11115848, 19293268). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Carney complex (PMID: 19265501, 21047926, 28255981). This variant is also known as 769C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41391). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
