Genes affected

PUF60 (HGNC:17042): (poly(U) binding splicing factor 60) This gene encodes a nucleic acid-binding protein that plays a role in a variety of nuclear processes, including pre-mRNA splicing and transcriptional regulation. The encoded protein forms a complex with the far upstream DNA element (FUSE) and FUSE-binding protein at the myelocytomatosis oncogene (MYC) promoter. This complex represses MYC transcription through the core-TFIIH basal transcription factor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.0601 CDS is truncated, and there are 3 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-143816620-T-TTATGAGTC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-143816620-T-TTATGAGTC is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 3346606.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.

The PUF60 c.1572_1579dup8 variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Lys527Argfs*76). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is located in the terminal exon and multiple de novo frameshift variants in the terminal exon have been documented to be disease-causing (see for example, c.1577_1587del in Low et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28327570; c.1673_1674del in Yamada et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32851780). Frameshift variants in PUF60 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
