Genes affected
DDX41 (HGNC:18674): (DEAD-box helicase 41) DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of the DEAD box protein family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the DEAD box protein family and interacts with several spliceosomal proteins. In addition, the encoded protein may recognize the bacterial second messengers cyclic di-GMP and cyclic di-AMP, resulting in the induction of genes involved in the innate immune response.

This change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with DDX41-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD with a population frequency of 0.086% in the African subpopulation (dbSNP rs187714514). Based on in silico splice prediction programs, this sequence change may impact normal splicing of the DDX41 gene, which may result in an abnormal protein, however functional studies have not been performed to prove this conclusively. The functional significance of this sequence change is not known at present and its contribution to this patient's disease phenotype cannot definitively be determined.

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
