Genes affected
SHH (HGNC:10848): (sonic hedgehog signaling molecule) This gene encodes a protein that is instrumental in patterning the early embryo. It has been implicated as the key inductive signal in patterning of the ventral neural tube, the anterior-posterior limb axis, and the ventral somites. Of three human proteins showing sequence and functional similarity to the sonic hedgehog protein of Drosophila, this protein is the most similar. The protein is made as a precursor that is autocatalytically cleaved; the N-terminal portion is soluble and contains the signalling activity while the C-terminal portion is involved in precursor processing. More importantly, the C-terminal product covalently attaches a cholesterol moiety to the N-terminal product, restricting the N-terminal product to the cell surface and preventing it from freely diffusing throughout the developing embryo. Defects in this protein or in its signalling pathway are a cause of holoprosencephaly (HPE), a disorder in which the developing forebrain fails to correctly separate into right and left hemispheres. HPE is manifested by facial deformities. It is also thought that mutations in this gene or in its signalling pathway may be responsible for VACTERL syndrome, which is characterized by vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal atresia, radial and renal dysplasia, cardiac anomalies, and limb abnormalities. Additionally, mutations in a long range enhancer located approximately 1 megabase upstream of this gene disrupt limb patterning and can result in preaxial polydactyly. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The NM_000193.4:c.1040C>T, is a missense variant in SHH in the Hint domain (PM1), absent from controls (PM2), predicted pathogenic by prediction tools (PP3). This variant inherited (two brothers affected) is probably involved in the pathophysiology of holoprosencephaly according to the oligogenic model described in Kim et al (Brain 2019) and is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: SHH c.1040C>T (p.Pro347Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Hint domain (IPR001767) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 130974 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1040C>T has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with holoprosencephaly (Roessler_2009, Mercier_2011), and further information submitted to ClinVar from this lab (Muenke lab, National Institutes of Health) has indicated that this was a de novo occurrence. These data suggest that the variant may be associated with holoprosencephaly, a SHH-Related Disorder. A study examining the variant in a zebrafish model found that unlike the wild-type protein, Pro347Leu was unable to rescue the null phenotype, indicating that it impairs protein function. Furthermore, other variants which affect the same residue (e.g. P347R, P347Q) have also been reported in holoproencephaly patients (Roessler_2009, HGMD database). One submitter has provided a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
