Genes affected

TWIST1 (HGNC:12428): (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of genes involved in cranial suture closure during skull development. This protein may also regulate neural tube closure, limb development and brown fat metabolism. This gene is hypermethylated and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as metastatic recurrence. Mutations in this gene cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, ptosis and hypertelorism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Twist-related protein 1 (size 201) in uniprot entity TWST1_HUMAN there are 17 pathogenic changes around while only 3 benign (85%) in NM_000474.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.938

TWIST1-related craniosynostosis Pathogenic:1 Uncertain:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	May 22, 2022	The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.91; 3Cnet: 0.17). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with TWIST1 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000007986 / PMID: 17343269). However, the evidence of pathogenicity is insufficient at this time. Therefore, this variant is classified as uncertain significanceaccording to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
