Genes affected
LIFR (HGNC:6597): (LIF receptor subunit alpha) This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family. This protein combines with a high-affinity converter subunit, gp130, to form a receptor complex that mediates the action of the leukemia inhibitory factor, a polyfunctional cytokine that is involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival in the adult and the embryo. Mutations in this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a disease belonging to the group of the bent-bone dysplasias. A translocation that involves the promoter of this gene, t(5;8)(p13;q12) with the pleiomorphic adenoma gene 1, is associated with salivary gland pleiomorphic adenoma, a common type of benign epithelial tumor of the salivary gland. Multiple splice variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2018]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 13, 2023The p.Thr646Asn variant in LIFR is classified as benign because it has been identified in 2.7% (1118/41434) of African chromosomes, including 5 homozygotes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v.3.1.2). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BA1. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 13, 2023Variant summary: LIFR c.1937C>A (p.Thr646Asn) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0021 in 251466 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.026 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 23 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LIFR causing Stuve-Wiedemann Syndrome phenotype (0.0011), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1937C>A in individuals affected with Stuve-Wiedemann Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (likely pathogenic n=1, benign/likely benign n=8). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Stuve-Wiedemann syndrome Benign:2
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJan 13, 2018This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
