Genes affected

DDX3X (HGNC:2745): (DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large DEAD-box protein family, that is defined by the presence of the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif, and has ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. This protein has been reported to display a high level of RNA-independent ATPase activity, and unlike most DEAD-box helicases, the ATPase activity is thought to be stimulated by both RNA and DNA. This protein has multiple conserved domains and is thought to play roles in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear roles include transcriptional regulation, mRNP assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA export. In the cytoplasm, this protein is thought to be involved in translation, cellular signaling, and viral replication. Misregulation of this gene has been implicated in tumorigenesis. This gene has a paralog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. Pseudogenes sharing similarity to both this gene and the DDX3Y paralog are found on chromosome 4 and the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 218 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-41334258-T-TC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-41334258-T-TC is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2584424.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This frameshifting variant in exon 1 of 17 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has not been previously reported or functionally characterized in the literature to our knowledge. Loss-of-function variation in DDX3X is an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 26235985). The c.7dup (p.His3ProfsTer24) variant is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.7dup (p.His3ProfsTer24) variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
