Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_181458.4(PAX3):​c.268T>C​(p.Tyr90His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y90S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_181458.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-222297030-T-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 4085524.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 47 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.618 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.7934 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Waardenburg syndrome type 3, Waardenburg syndrome type 1, Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 2-222297031-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-222297031-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 4216.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
