Genes affected

PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -8 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.88).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000199 (291/1461666) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.000257 (286/1111894). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000232. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 143 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 34. This position passed quality control check.
