Genes affected

DLX6 (HGNC:2919): (distal-less homeobox 6) This gene encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similiar to the Drosophila distal-less gene. This family is comprised of at least 6 different members that encode proteins with roles in forebrain and craniofacial development. This gene is in a tail-to-tail configuration with another member of the family on the long arm of chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

DLX6-AS1 (HGNC:37151): (DLX6 antisense RNA 1) Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BP3: Nonframeshift variant in repetitive region in NM_005222.4
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 308 AD gene.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.96_98dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the DLX6 protein (p.Gln44dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DLX6-related conditions. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
