For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with USP53-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly37Aspfs*27) in the USP53 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in USP53 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 32124521, 32759993). -
