Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_198687.2(KRTAP10-4):​c.82C>G​(p.Gln28Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q28P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

KRTAP10-4 (HGNC:20521): (keratin associated protein 10-4) This is an intronless gene located in a cluster of related genes on the q arm of chromosome 21. The proteins encoded by these genes form disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in hair keratins, thereby contributing to the structure and stability of hair fibers. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]

TSPEAR (HGNC:1268): (thrombospondin type laminin G domain and EAR repeats) This gene encodes a protein that contains a N-terminal thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and several tandem arranged epilepsy-associated repeats (EARs). A mutation in this gene is the cause of autosomal recessive deafness-98. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

TSPEAR Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• ectodermal dysplasia 14, hair/tooth type with or without hypohidrosis

  Inheritance: AR Classification: STRONG, MODERATE Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics
• hearing loss, autosomal recessive

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet
• autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss 98

  Inheritance: AR Classification: LIMITED, NO_KNOWN Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Ambry Genetics, PanelApp Australia
• nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss

  Inheritance: AR Classification: NO_KNOWN Submitted by: ClinGen

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.1208244).

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.82C>G (p.Q28E) alteration is located in exon 1 (coding exon 1) of the KRTAP10-4 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 82, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 28 to be replaced by a glutamic acid (E). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
