Genes affected
XRCC4 (HGNC:12831): (X-ray repair cross complementing 4) The protein encoded by this gene functions together with DNA ligase IV and the DNA-dependent protein kinase in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. This protein plays a role in both non-homologous end joining and the completion of V(D)J recombination. Mutations in this gene can cause short stature, microcephaly, and endocrine dysfunction (SSMED). Alternate transcript variants such as NM_022406 are unlikely to be expressed in some individuals due to a polymorphism (rs1805377) in the last splice acceptor site. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2019]

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

This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with microcephalic primordial dwarfism (PMID: 25728776). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 208519). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is present in population databases (rs779773463, gnomAD 0.008%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg161*) in the XRCC4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in XRCC4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25728776). -

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

The XRCC4 c.481C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg161*). This variant, along with another pathogenic variant, has been reported in an individual with primordial dwarfism (Murray et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25728776). This variant is reported in 0.0082% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/5-82491754-C-T). Nonsense variants in XRCC4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
