Genes affected
DDX41 (HGNC:18674): (DEAD-box helicase 41) DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of the DEAD box protein family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the DEAD box protein family and interacts with several spliceosomal proteins. In addition, the encoded protein may recognize the bacterial second messengers cyclic di-GMP and cyclic di-AMP, resulting in the induction of genes involved in the innate immune response.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaJul 24, 2018The DDX41 c.415_418dupGATG p.(Asp140GlyfsTer2) causes a shift in the protein reading frame that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. Loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay is expected. This variant has been identified in individuals with a phenotype consistent with familial myeloproliferative/lymphoproliferative neoplasms (Polprasert et al. 2015; Lewinsohn et al. 2016). At least three individuals, ranging in age from 55 to 76 years, from these families also carried the variant but did not show signs of disease, though incomplete penetrance has been reported (Lewinsohn et al. 2016). The highest frequency of this allele in the Genome Aggregation Database is 0.000166 in the European (non-Finnish) population (version 2.1.1). Cheah et al. (2017) report that the c.415_418dupGATG variant is the most common DDX41 variant in Caucasian patients and suggest that it may be a founder variant in this population. Based on the available evidence, the c.415_418dupGATG p.(Asp140GlyfsTer2) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for susceptibility to multiple types of familial myeloproliferative/lymphoproliferative neoplasms. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 08, 2024Variant summary: DDX41 c.415_418dupGATG (p.Asp140GlyfsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.7e-05 in 251444 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in DDX41 causing DDX41-Related Hematologic Malignancy Predisposition Syndrome, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.415_418dupGATG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DDX41-Related Hematologic Malignancy Predisposition Syndrome (examples: Lewinsohn_2016 and Dalle_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26712909, 31400013). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 210843). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalJun 08, 2022The DDX41 c.415_418dup (p.Asp140GlyfsTer2) change causes a frameshift and the creation of a premature stop codon. This change is predicted to cause protein truncation or absence of the protein due to nonsense-mediated decay. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of acute myeloid leukemia and/or myelodysplastic syndrome (PMID: 25920683, 30963592, 31400013, 31484648, 33585199). This variant has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.017% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for familial myeloproliferative/lymphoproliferative neoplasms. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 29, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp140Glyfs*2) in the DDX41 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DDX41 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 26712909, 27133828). This variant is present in population databases (rs762890562, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (PMID: 25920683, 30963592). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 210843). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

DDX41-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJun 28, 2024The DDX41 c.415_418dupGATG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Asp140Glyfs*2). This variant has been reported to be causative for myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia (for example, see: Polprasert et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25920683; Lewinsohn et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26712909). This variant is reported in 0.017% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/210843/). Frameshift variants in DDX41 are expected to be pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
Acute myeloid leukemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoOct 01, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the DDX41 gene demonstrated a four base pair deletion in exon 5, c.415_418dup. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon at position 2 in the new reading frame, p.Asp140Glyfs*2. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated DDX41 protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.017% in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation. This pathogenic sequence change is a well described, recurrent variant that has previously been described in multiple individuals with DDX41-related myeloid malignancies (PMID: 25920683, 31484648, 26712909, 31400013, 30963592). This pathogenic sequence change is the most likely cause of this patient's phenotype. -
