Genes affected
VRK1 (HGNC:12718): (VRK serine/threonine kinase 1) This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This gene is widely expressed in human tissues and has increased expression in actively dividing cells, such as those in testis, thymus, fetal liver, and carcinomas. Its protein localizes to the nucleus and has been shown to promote the stability and nuclear accumulation of a transcriptionally active p53 molecule and, in vitro, to phosphorylate Thr18 of p53 and reduce p53 ubiquitination. This gene, therefore, may regulate cell proliferation. This protein also phosphorylates histone, casein, and the transcription factors ATF2 (activating transcription factor 2) and c-JUN.

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 236 of the VRK1 protein (p.Val236Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs771364038, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of distal hereditary motor neuropathy (PMID: 24126608; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218924). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects VRK1 function (PMID: 31527692). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect, as the V236M variant results in loss of kinase activity (PMID: 31527692); Reported in trans with another VRK1 variant in two siblings with microcephaly and severe, rapidly progressive distal symmetric polyneuropathy with normal intellect in published literature (PMID: 24126608); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24970098, 27281532, 25609612, 26583493, 34169149, 30617279, 30847374, 31178479, 27149842, 35641352, 31560180, 31090908, 24126608, 31527692) -

The c.706G>A (p.V236M) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the VRK1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 706, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 236 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
