Genes affected

TWNK (HGNC:1160): (twinkle mtDNA helicase) This gene encodes a hexameric DNA helicase which unwinds short stretches of double-stranded DNA in the 5' to 3' direction and, along with mitochondrial single-stranded DNA binding protein and mtDNA polymerase gamma, is thought to play a key role in mtDNA replication. The protein localizes to the mitochondrial matrix and mitochondrial nucleoids. Mutations in this gene cause infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (IOSCA) and progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO) and are also associated with several mitochondrial depletion syndromes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a region_of_interest Maybe required for stable oligomeric structure (size 185) in uniprot entity PEO1_HUMAN there are 13 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (93%) in NM_021830.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.906

Collection Method: clinical testing

The TWNK c.1366C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu456Val. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in two siblings from a consanguineous family with infantile onset spinocerebellar ataxia (Dündar et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22353293). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
