Genes affected
POMK (HGNC:26267): (protein O-mannose kinase) This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in the presentation of the laminin-binding O-linked carbohydrate chain of alpha-dystroglycan (a-DG), which forms transmembrane linkages between the extracellular matrix and the exoskeleton. Some pathogens use this O-linked carbohydrate unit for host entry. Loss of function compound heterozygous mutations in this gene were found in a human patient affected by the Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS) phenotype. Mice lacking this gene contain misplaced neurons (heterotopia) in some regions of the brain, possibly from defects in neuronal migration. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

not provided Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 13, 2018The c.43dupC variant in the POMK gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.43dupC variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Arginine 15, changes this amino acid to a Proline residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 85 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Arg15ProfsX85. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The c.43dupC variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.43dupC as a likely pathogenic variant. -
Muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type a, 12;C4015184:Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy due to POMK deficiency Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMar 18, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the POMK protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln109*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24556084, 24925318). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 817678). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POMK-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs749980792, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg15Profs*85) in the POMK gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 336 amino acid(s) of the POMK protein. -
