Genes affected
PNKP (HGNC:9154): (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase) This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the PNKP gene. The R462Q variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R462Q variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. A different missense variant at the same position (R462P) has been reported in Human Gene Mutation Database in association with a PNKP-related disorder (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. However, the R462Q variant is observed in 17/514 (3.3%) alleles from individuals of Latino background in the ExAC dataset, which is greater than expected for this disorder (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
