Genes affected

CHD7 (HGNC:20626): (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7) This gene encodes a protein that contains several helicase family domains. Mutations in this gene have been found in some patients with the CHARGE syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2027*) in the CHD7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported de novo in individuals affected with CHARGE (PMID: 16155193, 22461308, 27061523). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267435). Loss-of-function variants in CHD7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22461308, 25077900). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.6079C>T;p.(Arg2027*) variant creates a premature translational stop signal in the CHD7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product -PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 267435; PMID: 16155193; 27061523; 29300383) - PS4. This variant is not present in population databases (rs886040995, gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. The variant was assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity (PMID: 16155193, 27061523, 29300383) - PM6. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

A heterozygous nonsense variant, NM_017780.3(CHD7):c.6079C>T, has been identified in exon 30 of 38 in the CHD7 gene. The variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon at position 2027 of the protein, NP_060250.2(CHD7):p.(Arg2027*). The variant is predicted to result in loss of protein function either through truncation (downstream functional domains would be affected) or nonsense-mediated decay, which is a reported mechanism of pathogenicity for this gene. The variant is absent in population databases (gnomAD, dbSNP, 1000G) and has been previously described as pathogenic in multiple individuals with CHARGE syndrome (ClinVar, Jongmans et al., (2016), Busa et al., (2016)). Based on the information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. -
