Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_016011.5(MECR):c.855T>G(p.Tyr285*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,461,360 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr285*) in the MECR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in MECR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27817865). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with dystonia (PMID: 27817865). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 374879). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. -
Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Identified in a patient with clinical features consistent with MECR-related disorder in published literature (Heimer et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27817865) -
