Genes affected
EDN3 (HGNC:3178): (endothelin 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the endothelin family. Endothelins are endothelium-derived vasoactive peptides involved in a variety of biological functions. The active form of this protein is a 21 amino acid peptide processed from the precursor protein. The active peptide is a ligand for endothelin receptor type B (EDNRB). The interaction of this endothelin with EDNRB is essential for development of neural crest-derived cell lineages, such as melanocytes and enteric neurons. Mutations in this gene and EDNRB have been associated with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and Waardenburg syndrome (WS), which are congenital disorders involving neural crest-derived cells. Altered expression of this gene is implicated in tumorigenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

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. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1433645). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with EDN3-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs202140125, gnomAD 0.07%). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 4 of the EDN3 protein (p.Gly4Ala). -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.11G>C (p.G4A) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the EDN3 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 11, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 4 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
