Genes affected

PURA (HGNC:9701): (purine rich element binding protein A) This gene product is a sequence-specific, single-stranded DNA-binding protein. It binds preferentially to the single strand of the purine-rich element termed PUR, which is present at origins of replication and in gene flanking regions in a variety of eukaryotes from yeasts through humans. Thus, it is implicated in the control of both DNA replication and transcription. Deletion of this gene has been associated with myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 17 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-140114482-ACT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-140114482-ACT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 156404.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr5-140114482-ACT-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. A different truncation (p.Asp207Thrfs*16) that lies downstream of this variant has been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that deletion of this region of the PURA protein is causative of disease. This variant has been observed to be de novo in individuals affected with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 25439098). This variant has also been observed in an individual affected with gross motor delay, hypotonia, and seizures (PMID: 28600779). This variant is also known as c.302_303del in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156404). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change results in a premature translational stop signal in the PURA gene (p.Ser103Hisfs*97). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 221 amino acids of the PURA protein. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The PURA c.307_308delTC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ser103Hisfs*97). This variant has been reported in the de novo state in individuals with hypotonia, seizures, encephalopathy or developmental disorders (see for example, Lalani et al 2014. PubMed ID: 25439098; Table S1, Kaplanis et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 33057194). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in PURA are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
