Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_Moderate
The NM_003106.4(SOX2):c.334C>A(p.Pro112Thr) 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. 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. P112A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
SOX2 (HGNC:11195): (SRY-box transcription factor 2) This intronless gene encodes a member of the SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of cell fate. The product of this gene is required for stem-cell maintenance in the central nervous system, and also regulates gene expression in the stomach. Mutations in this gene have been associated with optic nerve hypoplasia and with syndromic microphthalmia, a severe form of structural eye malformation. This gene lies within an intron of another gene called SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
SOX2-OT (HGNC:20209): (SOX2 overlapping transcript) This gene produces alternatively spliced long non-coding RNAs. These RNAs were observed to be upregulated in tumor cells and positively correlated to expression of the SRY-box 2 gene. Overexpression of these transcripts may promote cell proliferation.

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr3-181712694-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 521601.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.922
Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; A different missense change at this residue (P112L) has been reported in the published literature in an individual with esophageal dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, craniofacial dysmorphisms, hypotonia, and intellectual disability (Dennert et al., 2017). -
