Genes affected
TWNK (HGNC:1160): (twinkle mtDNA helicase) This gene encodes a hexameric DNA helicase which unwinds short stretches of double-stranded DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and, along with mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding protein and mtDNA polymerase gamma, is thought to play a key role in mtDNA replication. The protein localizes to the mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial nucleoids. Mutations in this gene cause infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (IOSCA) and progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and are also associated with several mitochondrial depletion syndromes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_021830.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 36 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.6071 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 2.58 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 3, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 7 (hepatocerebral type), Perrault syndrome, autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia, mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, hepatocerebrorenal form.
PP5
Variant 10-100989162-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-100989162-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 4630.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
