Genes affected

PCNT (HGNC:16068): (pericentrin) The protein encoded by this gene binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome. It is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). The protein contains a series of coiled-coil domains and a highly conserved PCM targeting motif called the PACT domain near its C-terminus. The protein interacts with the microtubule nucleation component gamma-tubulin and is likely important to normal functioning of the centrosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell-cycle progression. Mutations in this gene cause Seckel syndrome-4 and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1860*) in the PCNT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PCNT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18174396, 22821869). This variant is present in population databases (rs369195346, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 2 (MOPD2) (PMID: 19643772). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159621). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
