Genes affected

PLK4 (HGNC:11397): (polo like kinase 4) This gene encodes a member of the polo family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The protein localizes to centrioles, complex microtubule-based structures found in centrosomes, and regulates centriole duplication during the cell cycle. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 16 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 4-127881837-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr4-127881837-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 960158.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys13*) in the PLK4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PLK4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 25320347, 30842647). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PLK4-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 960158). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
