Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2PP2BP4
The NM_001356.5(DDX3X):āc.40C>Gā(p.Gln14Glu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000912 in 1,096,972 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are no hemizygote samples in GnomAD. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
DDX3X (HGNC:2745): (DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large DEAD-box protein family, that is defined by the presence of the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif, and has ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. This protein has been reported to display a high level of RNA-independent ATPase activity, and unlike most DEAD-box helicases, the ATPase activity is thought to be stimulated by both RNA and DNA. This protein has multiple conserved domains and is thought to play roles in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear roles include transcriptional regulation, mRNP assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA export. In the cytoplasm, this protein is thought to be involved in translation, cellular signaling, and viral replication. Misregulation of this gene has been implicated in tumorigenesis. This gene has a paralog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. Pseudogenes sharing similarity to both this gene and the DDX3Y paralog are found on chromosome 4 and the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the DDX3X gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 93 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 20 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.3295 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to X-linked intellectual disability-hypotonia-movement disorder syndrome, Toriello-Carey syndrome, intellectual disability, X-linked 102, X-linked syndromic intellectual disability.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3380673).
