Genes affected

PRKAR1A (HGNC:9388): (protein kinase cAMP-dependent type I regulatory subunit alpha) cAMP is a signaling molecule important for a variety of cellular functions. cAMP exerts its effects by activating the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which transduces the signal through phosphorylation of different target proteins. The inactive kinase holoenzyme is a tetramer composed of two regulatory and two catalytic subunits. cAMP causes the dissociation of the inactive holoenzyme into a dimer of regulatory subunits bound to four cAMP and two free monomeric catalytic subunits. Four different regulatory subunits and three catalytic subunits have been identified in humans. This gene encodes one of the regulatory subunits. This protein was found to be a tissue-specific extinguisher that down-regulates the expression of seven liver genes in hepatoma x fibroblast hybrids. Mutations in this gene cause Carney complex (CNC). This gene can fuse to the RET protooncogene by gene rearrangement and form the thyroid tumor-specific chimeric oncogene known as PTC2. A nonconventional nuclear localization sequence (NLS) has been found for this protein which suggests a role in DNA replication via the protein serving as a nuclear transport protein for the second subunit of the Replication Factor C (RFC40). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. One experimental study using patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines has shown that this sequence change causes exon 5 skipping, creating a premature stop codon (PMID: 18445140). Loss-of-function variants in PRKAR1A are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported to segregate with Carney complex in one family (PMID: 18445140). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 5 of the PRKAR1A gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.502+1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 4 of the PRKAR1A gene. This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with Carney complex (Ambry internal data). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data). The resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; however, direct evidence is unavailable. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acid sequence is unknown; however, the impacted region is critical for protein function (Bruystens JG et al. J Mol Biol, 2016 12;428:4890-4904; Ambry internal data). This alteration was identified in a 30-year-old female with a clinical diagnosis of Carney complex and co-segregated with disease. In addition, this alteration was demonstrated to result in skipping of coding exon 4 (Gennari M et al. Clin Endocrinol (Oxf), 2008 Nov;69:751-5). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
