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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg15*) in the POMK gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POMK are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24925318). This variant is present in population databases (rs774013796, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POMK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1076046). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
