Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The NM_003690.5(PRKRA):c.935G>A(p.Arg312Lys) variant causes a missense 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. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
PRKRA (HGNC:9438): (protein activator of interferon induced protein kinase EIF2AK2) This gene encodes a protein kinase activated by double-stranded RNA which mediates the effects of interferon in response to viral infection. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dystonia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.935G>A (p.R312K) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the PRKRA gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 935, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 312 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
