Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_003690.5(PRKRA):c.854A>G(p.His285Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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
This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 285 of the PRKRA protein (p.His285Arg). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PRKRA-related conditions. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). -
