Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000346.4(SOX9):​c.1320C>A​(p.Tyr440Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y440Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

SOX9 (HGNC:11204): (SRY-box transcription factor 9) The protein encoded by this gene recognizes the sequence CCTTGAG along with other members of the HMG-box class DNA-binding proteins. It acts during chondrocyte differentiation and, with steroidogenic factor 1, regulates transcription of the anti-Muellerian hormone (AMH) gene. Deficiencies lead to the skeletal malformation syndrome campomelic dysplasia, frequently with sex reversal. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SOX9-AS1 (HGNC:49321): (SOX9 antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 8 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-72124177-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-72124177-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 21163.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Camptomelic dysplasia Pathogenic:1 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 31, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr440*) in the SOX9 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 70 amino acid(s) of the SOX9 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with campomelic dysplasia (PMID: 8001137, 9002675, 9452058; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21163). -

The Y440X pathogenic variant in the SOX9 gene has been reported previously as a confirmed or assumed de novo change in individuals with campomelic dysplasia with or without sex reversal (Wagner et al., 1994; Meyer et al., 1997; Hageman et al., 1998; Pop et al., 2005). Y440X was observed in a single patient in the homozygous state, which was though to be due to a mitotic gene conversion event (Pop et al., 2005). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function throuh protein truncation; however, functional studies show that Y440X allows for some residual activity of the SOX9 protein (Meyer et al., 1997). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The Y440X variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 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 Y440X as a pathogenic variant. -
