Genes affected
LARP7 (HGNC:24912): (La ribonucleoprotein 7, transcriptional regulator) This gene encodes a protein which is found in the 7SK snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein). This snRNP complex inhibits a cyclin-dependent kinase, positive transcription elongation factor b, which is required for paused RNA polymerase II at a promoter to begin transcription elongation. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 07, 2021This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the LARP7 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LARP7 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs201651306, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LARP7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 452711). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 10, 2017The c.203-3 T>G variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The c.203-3 T>G variant is observed in 50/29132 (0.2%) alleles from individuals of Latino background (Lek et al., 2016). This variant is predicted to damage or destroy the splice acceptor site in intron 2, and is expected to cause abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. Additionally, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
