Genes affected

FOXN1 (HGNC:12765): (forkhead box N1) Mutations in the winged-helix transcription factor gene at the nude locus in mice and rats produce the pleiotropic phenotype of hairlessness and athymia, resulting in a severely compromised immune system. This gene is orthologous to the mouse and rat genes and encodes a similar DNA-binding transcription factor that is thought to regulate keratin gene expression. A mutation in this gene has been correlated with T-cell immunodeficiency, the skin disorder congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy. Alternative splicing in the 5' UTR of this gene has been observed.

RSKR (HGNC:26314): (ribosomal protein S6 kinase related) Predicted to enable protein kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein phosphorylation. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

GeneDx

Jun 19, 2017

The c.1201_1216del16 variant in the FOXN1 gene has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. However, GeneDx has observed this variant as a de novo heterozygous variant (without a second identifiable FOXN1 variant) in another individual referred for exome analysis. The c.1201_1216del16 variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Proline 401, changes this amino acid to an Alanine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 144 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Pro401AlafsX144. This variant is predicted to replace the last 248 amino acids of the protein with 143 incorrect amino acids. The c.1201_1216del16 variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Pro401Alafs*144) in the FOXN1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 248 amino acid(s) of the FOXN1 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with FOXN1 haploinsufficiency (PMID: 31447097, 31566583; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 418218). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects FOXN1 function (PMID: 31566583). This variant disrupts a region of the FOXN1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln489Argfs*61) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 31566583). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
