Genes affected

PFN1 (HGNC:8881): (profilin 1) This gene encodes a member of the profilin family of small actin-binding proteins. The encoded protein plays an important role in actin dynamics by regulating actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. Deletion of this gene is associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome, and the encoded protein may also play a role in Huntington disease. Multiple pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosome 1.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Profilin-1 (size 138) in uniprot entity PROF1_HUMAN there are 5 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_005022.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.949
• PP5: Variant 17-4945982-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-4945982-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 37035.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr17-4945982-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PFN1 function (PMID: 22801503). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37035). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 22801503). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 114 of the PFN1 protein (p.Met114Thr). -

The PFN1 c.341T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Met114Thr. This variant was reported in an individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Wu et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22801503; Corcia et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33408239). In vitro assays showed p.Met114Thr promotes the formation of PFN1 aggregates and impacts its function (Tanaka et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26908597). An in vivo fruit fly model suggested the variant may exert a loss-of-function mechanism (Wu et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28379367) though other studies have suggested a gain-of-function mechanism via formin-induced actin polymerization ultimately resulting in neurodegeneration (Schmidt et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34074767; Liu et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35248815) This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
