Genes affected
DNAAF4 (HGNC:21493): (dynein axonemal assembly factor 4) This gene encodes a tetratricopeptide repeat domain-containing protein. The encoded protein interacts with estrogen receptors and the heat shock proteins, Hsp70 and Hsp90. An homologous protein in rat has been shown to function in neuronal migration in the developing neocortex. A chromosomal translocation involving this gene is associated with a susceptibility to developmental dyslexia. Mutations in this gene are associated with deficits in reading and spelling. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream cell cycle progression 1 (CCPG1) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
DNAAF4-CCPG1 (HGNC:43019): (DNAAF4-CCPG1 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring dyslexia susceptibility 1 candidate 1 (DYX1C1) and cell cycle progression 1 (CCPG1) genes on chromosome 15. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile175Asnfs*15) in the DNAAF4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DNAAF4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23872636). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DNAAF4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 496919). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The DNAAF4 c.523dupA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ile175Asnfs*15). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.025% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/15-55759241-A-AT). Frameshift variants in DNAAF4 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
