Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points: 2P and 5B. PM2 BP4_Strong BP7

The NM_000522.5(HOXA13):​c.159C>T​(p.Ala53=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000284 in 1,056,630 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A53A) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

HOXA13 (HGNC:5102): (homeobox A13) In vertebrates, the genes encoding the class of transcription factors called homeobox genes are found in clusters named A, B, C, and D on four separate chromosomes. Expression of these proteins is spatially and temporally regulated during embryonic development. This gene is part of the A cluster on chromosome 7 and encodes a DNA-binding transcription factor which may regulate gene expression, morphogenesis, and differentiation. Expansion of a polyalanine tract in the encoded protein can cause hand-foot-uterus syndrome, also known as hand-foot-genital syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

HOTTIP (HGNC:37461): (HOXA distal transcript antisense RNA) This gene produces a long RNA in antisense to the HOXA gene cluster. This transcript may regulate expression of HOXA genes in cis. This gene is upregulated in tumors and is implicated in the promotion of cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.53).
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.851 with no splicing effect.
