The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.002%). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.74; 3Cnet: 0.81). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000031691 / PMID: 22544365). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 22544365). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The p.(Gly31Ala) variant has a low general population frequency (G = 0.000020 in gnomAD) and it has not been found in the general Slovak population (PMID: 31054297). It is frequent in Czech Roma patients (the founder effect was suggested) and 4.4 % of unrelated Czech Roma control individuals were carriers (PMID: 23883322). Slovak patients show the same or highly similar haplotype, indicating a common origin (PMID: 35852507) (there has been a close connection between the Slovak and Czech populations). Interestingly, in the study PMID: 24524299 all patients who carried this variant were of Roma/Gypsy descent, although living in different countries (Sweden and Hungary) (a common founder?) (PMID: 23284067, PMID: 23883322). The variant is in the EXOSC3 N-terminal domain that is important for intersubunit interactions: residue Gly31 has been shown tightly packed against the surface of EXOSC5, indicating its importance for EXOSC3-EXOSC5 interactions (PMID: 29093021, PMID: 27777260). Patients homozygous for this variant manifest a severe disease course including death during infancy and hypoplasia of the pons (PMID: 24524299). -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 31 of the EXOSC3 protein (p.Gly31Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs387907196, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PMID: 22544365, 30221345). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31691). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt EXOSC3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects EXOSC3 function (PMID: 22544365, 28053271). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published yeast functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with impaired pre-rRNA processing (Gillespie et al., 2017); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30986545, 27777260, 27876572, 23883322, 28053271, 29096039, 22544365, 30221345, 30025162, 29656927, 34426522, 31589614, 31770597, 24524299) -
