Genes affected

AURKC (HGNC:11391): (aurora kinase C) This gene encodes a member of the Aurora subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein is a chromosomal passenger protein that forms complexes with Aurora-B and inner centromere proteins and may play a role in organizing microtubules in relation to centrosome/spindle function during mitosis. This gene is overexpressed in several cancer cell lines, suggesting an involvement in oncogenic signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met35Alafs*40) in the AURKC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs757923465, ExAC 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with AURKC-related disease. Loss-of-function variants in AURKC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17435757, 19147683, 22888167). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Met35AlafsX40 variant in AURKC has not been previously reported in individ uals with spermatogenic failure, but has been identified in 0.1% (11/10368) of A shkenazi Jewish chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This v ariant is predicted to cause a frameshift in some (e.g. NM_001015878.1 and NM_00 1015879.1) but not all of the transcripts produced by the gene. It occurs upstre am of the start codon of an alternate transcript (NM_003160.2) and the two known pathogenic loss of function variants in this gene (p.Tyr248X and p.Leu49TrpfsX2 3) occur downstream of the start codon in all 3 transcripts. Loss of AURKC funct ion is an established disease mechanism in individuals with spermatogenic failur e (Dieterich 2007, Ben Khelifa 2011, Ben Khelifa 2012); however, given uncertain ty around which transcripts are biologically relevant, the p.Met35AlafsX40 varia nt is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: None. -
