Genes affected
PCNT (HGNC:16068): (pericentrin) The protein encoded by this gene binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome. It is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). The protein contains a series of coiled-coil domains and a highly conserved PCM targeting motif called the PACT domain near its C-terminus. The protein interacts with the microtubule nucleation component gamma-tubulin and is likely important to normal functioning of the centrosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell-cycle progression. Mutations in this gene cause Seckel syndrome-4 and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PCNT c.427C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg143Cys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.076% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Of note, a different variant impacting the same amino acid residue (p.Arg143His) has been reported as de novo in at least one patient with autism (Family ID 13863 in Supplemental Table 2, Iossifov et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25363768; Table S2, Turner et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31785789). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 143 of the PCNT protein (p.Arg143Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs201176638, gnomAD 0.06%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCNT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159598). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
