Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The ENST00000626200.3(SNHG14):n.1347_1350dupGACA variant causes a non coding transcript exon change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
SNHG14 (HGNC:37462): (small nucleolar RNA host gene 14) This gene is located within the Prader-Willi critical region and produces a long, spliced paternally-imprinted RNA that initiates within a common upstream promoter region shared by the SNRPN (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N) and SNURF genes. This transcript serves as a host RNA for the small nucleolar RNA, C/D box 115 and 116 clusters. This RNA extends in antisense into the region of the ubiquitin protein ligase E3A gene (UBE3A), and is thought to regulate imprinted expression of UBE3A in the brain. This transcript undergoes extensive alternative splicing, and may initiate and terminate at multiple locations within this genomic region. The full-length structure of all splice forms is not determined. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
IPW (HGNC:6109): (imprinted in Prader-Willi syndrome) This gene is non-protein coding, is expressed exclusively from the paternal allele, and may play a role in the imprinting process. Mutations in this gene are associated with Prader-Willi syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
