Genes affected
PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 194 of the PAX3 protein (p.Glu194Lys). 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. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 504786). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PAX3-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs148454691, gnomAD 0.03%). -

The p.Glu194Lys variant in PAX3 has not been previously reported in individuals with hearing loss or Waardenburg syndrome, but it has been identified in 33/1267 14 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnoma d.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs148454691). Although this variant has been seen i n the general population, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathoge nic role. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provid e strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinic al significance of the p.Glu194Lys variant is uncertain. -

The PAX3 c.580G>A:p.(Glu194Lys) heterozygous variant is very rare and possibly deleterious. It was detected in an individual with sloping mild-to-moderate HL, that also had an unspecified skin disorder and asymetry of face, that might be characteristic of Waardenburg. -

Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases was too high to be consistent with this variant causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
