Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_007254.4(PNKP):c.1288_1298+6dupAGCCGCGCCAGGTAGCG variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000023 in 1,566,646 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).

Variant summary: PNKP c.1288_1298+6dup17 variant involves the duplication of 17 nucleotides in exon 14 and intron 14. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant creates a cryptic 5 donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.3e-05 in 175710 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1288_1298+6dup17 in individuals affected with PNKP-Related Disorders and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One submitter has cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
PNKP-related disorder Uncertain:1
The PNKP c.1288_1298+6dup17 variant is predicted to result in an intronic duplication. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.027% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-50365022-A-ACGCTACCTGGCGCGGCT). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 12 Uncertain:1
This sequence change falls in intron 14 of the PNKP gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PNKP protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PNKP-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 538890). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
