Genes affected

GHR (HGNC:4263): (growth hormone receptor) This gene encodes a member of the type I cytokine receptor family, which is a transmembrane receptor for growth hormone. Binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to receptor dimerization and the activation of an intra- and intercellular signal transduction pathway leading to growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Laron syndrome, also known as the growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a disorder characterized by short stature. In humans and rabbits, but not rodents, growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular ligand-binding domain from the mature growth hormone receptor protein. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 20, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys56*) in the GHR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GHR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1999489, 8488849). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909359, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Laron dwarfism (PMID: 1999489). This variant is also known as C38X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8634). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GHR c.168C>A (p.Cys56X) 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 1.6e-05 in 251374 control chromosomes. c.168C>A has been reported in the literature in homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with Growth Hormone Insensitivity (examples: Woods_1997, Shapiro_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28870985, 9360502). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
