Genes affected

DEPDC5 (HGNC:18423): (DEP domain containing 5, GATOR1 subcomplex subunit) This gene encodes a member of the IML1 family of proteins involved in G-protein signaling pathways. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway regulates cell growth by sensing the availability of nutrients. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the GATOR1 (GAP activity toward Rags) complex which inhibits the amino acid-sensing branch of the mTORC1 pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene has been associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg286*) in the DEPDC5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DEPDC5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23542697, 23542701). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (PMID: 26704558). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2580197). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
