Genes affected

DCX (HGNC:2714): (doublecortin) This gene encodes a member of the doublecortin family. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein and contains two doublecortin domains, which bind microtubules. In the developing cortex, cortical neurons must migrate over long distances to reach the site of their final differentiation. The encoded protein appears to direct neuronal migration by regulating the organization and stability of microtubules. In addition, the encoded protein interacts with LIS1, the regulatory gamma subunit of platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, and this interaction is important to proper microtubule function in the developing cortex. Mutations in this gene cause abnormal migration of neurons during development and disrupt the layering of the cortex, leading to epilepsy, cognitive disability, subcortical band heterotopia ("double cortex" syndrome) in females and lissencephaly ("smooth brain" syndrome) in males. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 15 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_001195553.2
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrX-111401138-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 158477.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 87 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Trascript score misZ: NaN (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to lissencephaly type 1 due to doublecortin gene mutation, lissencephaly spectrum disorders, subcortical band heterotopia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.927
• PP5: Variant X-111401138-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-111401138-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 158478.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
