Genes affected
EXOSC9 (HGNC:9137): (exosome component 9) This gene encodes a component of the human exosome, a exoribonuclease complex which processes and degrades RNA in the nucleus and cytoplasm. This component may play a role in mRNA degradation and the polymyositis/scleroderma autoantigen complex. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: EXOSC9 c.481C>T (p.Arg161X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251018 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.481C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Spinal Motor Neuronopathy (Burns_2018). This data does not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Additional Western blot analysis using muscle extracts from this same compound heterozygous individual showed that there was severe reduction in EXOSC9 protein (Burns_2018). Two ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as likely pathogenic, and one as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg161*) in the EXOSC9 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in EXOSC9 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 29727687, 33040083). This variant is present in population databases (rs372318863, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PMID: 29727687). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549846). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
