Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1

The NM_001015878.2(AURKC):​c.86_101dupAGCCCAGCAGCCCAGC​(p.Met35AlafsTer13) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,890 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.
