Genes affected

LHX3 (HGNC:6595): (LIM homeobox 3) This gene encodes a member of a large family of proteins which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that is required for pituitary development and motor neuron specification. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3 of the LHX3 protein (p.Ala3Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs375579333, gnomAD 0.1%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LHX3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279836). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: LHX3 c.8C>T (p.Ala3Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0013 in 1519580 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0015 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database (v4.0.0) is higher than the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LHX3 causing Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency phenotype (0.0013), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.8C>T in individuals affected with Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279836). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
