Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2PP3_Strong

The NM_012476.3(VAX2):c.457C>T(p.Arg153Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000012 in 1,588,474 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R153H) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
VAX2 (HGNC:12661): (ventral anterior homeobox 2) This gene encodes a homeobox protein and is almost exclusively expressed in the ventral portion of the retina during development. In mouse studies, this gene was found to be required for the correct formation of the optic fissure and other aspects of retinal development. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 27, 2023The c.457C>T (p.R153C) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the VAX2 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 457, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 153 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
