Genes affected

ARX (HGNC:18060): (aristaless related homeobox) This gene is a homeobox-containing gene expressed during development. The expressed protein contains two conserved domains, a C-peptide (or aristaless domain) and the prd-like class homeobox domain. It is a member of the group-II aristaless-related protein family whose members are expressed primarily in the central and/or peripheral nervous system. This gene is thought to be involved in CNS development. Expansion of a polyalanine tract and other mutations in this gene cause X-linked cognitive disability and epilepsy.

The c.1315_1320dupGCCGCC (p.A439_A440dup) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the ARX gene. The alteration consists of an in-frame duplication of 6 nucleotides from position 1315 to 1320, resulting in the duplication of <NA> residues. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.1315_1320dup, results in the insertion of 2 amino acid(s) of the ARX protein (p.Ala439_Ala440dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of epileptic encephalopathy (internal data). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
