Genes affected
DEPDC5 (HGNC:18423): (DEP domain containing 5, GATOR1 subcomplex subunit) This gene encodes a member of the IML1 family of proteins involved in G-protein signaling pathways. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway regulates cell growth by sensing the availability of nutrients. The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the GATOR1 (GAP activity toward Rags) complex which inhibits the amino acid-sensing branch of the mTORC1 pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal dominant familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. A single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of this gene has been associated with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

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

The c.1909C>T (p.R637*) alteration, located in exon 23 (coding exon 22) of the DEPDC5 gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1909. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 637. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration has been reported in the heterozygous state in one individual with nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (Ricos, 2016). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg637*) in the DEPDC5 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DEPDC5 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23542697, 23542701). This variant is present in population databases (rs780960812, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (PMID: 26505888). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264735). -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The DEPDC5 c.1909C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg637*). This variant has been reported in an individual with frontal lobe epilepsy (Ricos et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26505888). This variant is reported in 0.0041% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple independent submitters to the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/264735/). Nonsense variants in DEPDC5 are expected to be pathogenic and therefore we interpret c.1909C>T (p.Arg637*) as likely pathogenic. -
