The c.406_407delGC pathogenic variant in the SIX3 gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 136, changes this amino acid to a Arginine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 17 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala136ArgfsX17. This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.406_407delGC variant was not observed in approximately 6,200 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. -
