Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_001195248.2(APTX):c.742_744delTTGinsCTA(p.249) variant causes a synonymous change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L248L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
APTX (HGNC:15984): (aprataxin) This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair through its nucleotide-binding activity and its diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
APTX Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
