Genes affected

PDGFRA (HGNC:8803): (platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha) This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in organ development, wound healing, and tumor progression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, somatic and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and a variety of other cancers.

The PDGFRA c.878G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg293His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0058% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant has an interpretation of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/528615/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 293 of the PDGFRA protein (p.Arg293His). This variant is present in population databases (rs373948582, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PDGFRA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 528615). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PDGFRA protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -

The p.R293H variant (also known as c.878G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the PDGFRA gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 878. The arginine at codon 293 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on data from gnomAD, the frequency for this variant is above the maximum credible frequency for a disease-causing variant in this gene based on internally established thresholds (Karczewski et al. Nature. 2020 May;581(7809):434-443; Whiffin et al. Genet Med. 2017 10;19:1151-1158). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is interpreted as a benign polymorphism. -
