Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_004082.5(DCTN1):​c.175G>A​(p.Gly59Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/23 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G59G) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

DCTN1 (HGNC:2711): (dynactin subunit 1) This gene encodes the largest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit interacts with dynein intermediate chain by its domains directly binding to dynein and binds to microtubules via a highly conserved glycine-rich cytoskeleton-associated protein (CAP-Gly) domain in its N-terminus. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIB (HMN7B) which is also known as distal spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (dSBMA). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain CAP-Gly (size 42) in uniprot entity DCTN1_HUMAN there are 11 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (92%) in NM_004082.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 2-74378104-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-74378104-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 8401.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr2-74378104-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr2-74378104-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces glycine with serine at codon 59 of the DCTN1 protein (p.Gly59Ser). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glycine and serine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change reduces the ability of the dynactin protein to properly bind microtubules and leads to protein aggregation and loss of motor neurons (PMID: 12627231, 19279216, 16505168, 23143281). Additionally, several mouse models have recapitulated the disease phenotype observed in individuals carrying this variant. (PMID: 18364389, 18094236). This variant has been reported to segregate with hereditary motor neuropathy, type 7B in a single family and has also been reported in additional, unrelated affected individuals (PMID: 12627231, 27573046 ). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8401). -
