Genes affected

HDAC8 (HGNC:13315): (histone deacetylase 8) Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to class I of the histone deacetylase family. It catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

ENSG00000285547 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1111+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 10 of the HDAC8 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. A resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay, although direct evidence is unavailable. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 10 of the HDAC8 gene. While this variant is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it likely alters RNA splicing and results in a disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HDAC8-related conditions. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
