Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_001385562.1(ARPP21):c.994C>T(p.Arg332Trp) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000616 in 1,590,720 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
ARPP21 (HGNC:16968): (cAMP regulated phosphoprotein 21) This gene encodes a cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein. The encoded protein is enriched in the caudate nucleus and cerebellar cortex. A similar protein in mouse may be involved in regulating the effects of dopamine in the basal ganglia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The c.994C>T (p.R332W) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 11) of the ARPP21 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 994, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 332 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
