Genes affected
PHF21A (HGNC:24156): (PHD finger protein 21A) The PHF21A gene encodes BHC80, a component of a BRAF35 (MIM 605535)/histone deacetylase (HDAC; see MIM 601241) complex (BHC) that mediates repression of neuron-specific genes through the cis-regulatory element known as repressor element-1 (RE1) or neural restrictive silencer (NRS) (Hakimi et al., 2002 [PubMed 12032298]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1879G>A (p.G627S) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 16) of the PHF21A gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1879, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 627 to be replaced by a serine (S). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 627 of the PHF21A protein (p.Gly627Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs376981110, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PHF21A-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1341719). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PHF21A protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
