Genes affected
GFM1 (HGNC:13780): (G elongation factor mitochondrial 1) Eukaryotes contain two protein translational systems, one in the cytoplasm and one in the mitochondria. Mitochondrial translation is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial function and mutations in this system lead to a breakdown in the respiratory chain-oxidative phosphorylation system and to impaired maintenance of mitochondrial DNA. This gene encodes one of the mitochondrial translation elongation factors. Its role in the regulation of normal mitochondrial function and in different disease states attributed to mitochondrial dysfunction is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
LXN (HGNC:13347): (latexin) This gene encodes the only known protein inhibitor of zinc-dependent metallocarboxypeptidases. The encoded protein, latexin, downregulates the population size of hematopoietic stem cells. This protein is found to be downregulated in cancer cells because of promoter hypermethylation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

Variant summary: GFM1 c.139C>T (p.Arg47X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251442 control chromosomes. c.139C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with early-onset Leigh syndrome with evidence of familial co-segregation (e.g.Valente_2007). One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not provide sufficient evidence about the variant effect (e.g.Valente_2007). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17160893). Two submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg47*) in the GFM1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GFM1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16632485, 17160893). This variant is present in population databases (rs119470019, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with GFM1-related conditions (PMID: 17160893). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4161). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
