Genes affected

HESX1 (HGNC:4877): (HESX homeobox 1) This gene encodes a conserved homeobox protein that is a transcriptional repressor in the developing forebrain and pituitary gland. Mutations in this gene are associated with septooptic dysplasia, HESX1-related growth hormone deficiency, and combined pituitary hormone deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.35842294 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.3, offset of 6, new splice context is: ttttttgtttttacggaaAGatg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-57198953-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-57198953-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 537760.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
