Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_004082.5(DCTN1):c.175G>C(p.Gly59Arg) 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. 13/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G59S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

DCTN1 (HGNC:2711): (dynactin subunit 1) This gene encodes the largest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit interacts with dynein intermediate chain by its domains directly binding to dynein and binds to microtubules via a highly conserved glycine-rich cytoskeleton-associated protein (CAP-Gly) domain in its N-terminus. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIB (HMN7B) which is also known as distal spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (dSBMA). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a strand (size 8) in uniprot entity DCTN1_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_004082.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-74378104-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 8401.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988
• PP5: Variant 2-74378104-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-74378104-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1458171.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Gly59 amino acid residue in DCTN1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12627231, 27573046, 19279216, 16505168, 23143281). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 25109764, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with arginine at codon 59 of the DCTN1 protein (p.Gly59Arg). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and arginine. -
