The c.18_23dupGGCGGC pathogenic variant in the PABPN1 gene has been reported previously in individuals with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy in four families (Brais et al., 1998). This duplication is in the region of the polyalanine tract in exon 1, and other duplications nearby have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (Stenson et al., 2014). The c.18_23dupGGCGGC variant causes an in-frame duplication of 2 alanine residues, denoted p.Ala10_Ala11dup. The result of this variant is a polyalanine tract length of 12 in this individual. The c.18_23dupGGCGGC variant was not observed in approximately 192 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret c.18_23dupGGCGGC as a pathogenic variant. -
