Genes affected
TWIST1 (HGNC:12428): (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of genes involved in cranial suture closure during skull development. This protein may also regulate neural tube closure, limb development and brown fat metabolism. This gene is hypermethylated and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as metastatic recurrence. Mutations in this gene cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, ptosis and hypertelorism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 14 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 7-19116954-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-19116954-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 7976.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr7-19116954-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr7-19116954-G-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpApr 29, 2021For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Saethre-Chotzen syndrome (PMID: 8988167). The variant is also known as p.S127Ter. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7976). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser123*) in the TWIST1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TWIST1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10749989). -
