Genes affected

ATRX (HGNC:886): (ATRX chromatin remodeler) The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATPase/helicase domain, and thus it belongs to the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling proteins. This protein is found to undergo cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation, which regulates its nuclear matrix and chromatin association, and suggests its involvement in the gene regulation at interphase and chromosomal segregation in mitosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked syndromes exhibiting cognitive disabilities as well as alpha-thalassemia (ATRX) syndrome. These mutations have been shown to cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, which may provide a link between chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and gene expression in developmental processes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain ADD (size 137) in uniprot entity ATRX_HUMAN there are 11 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000489.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.969

The ATRX c.838T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Cys280Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. A different nucleotide substitution affecting the same amino acid (p.Cys280Tyr) has been reported in the hemizygous state in an individual with X-linked intellectual disability-hypotonic facies syndrome (Hettiarachchi et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31781420). At this time, the clinical significance of the c.838T>C (p.Cys280Arg) variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
