Genes affected

PNKP (HGNC:9154): (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase) This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 60 of the PNKP protein (p.Arg60Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs374743798, gnomAD 0.07%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PNKP-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206381). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests 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. -
