Genes affected

DKC1 (HGNC:2890): (dyskerin pseudouridine synthase 1) This gene functions in two distinct complexes. It plays an active role in telomerase stabilization and maintenance, as well as recognition of snoRNAs containing H/ACA sequences which provides stability during biogenesis and assembly into H/ACA small nucleolar RNA ribonucleoproteins (snoRNPs). This gene is highly conserved and widely expressed, and may play additional roles in nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling, DNA damage response, and cell adhesion. Mutations have been associated with X-linked dyskeratosis congenita. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), DKC1. . Gene score misZ 3.3994 (greater than the threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome, DKC1-related disorder, dyskeratosis congenita, X-linked, dyskeratosis congenita.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.981
• PP5: Variant X-154774672-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154774672-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 38942.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-154774672-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The p.P409L variant (also known as c.1226C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the DKC1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1226. The proline at codon 409 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been found to segregate among multiple hemizygous males in the same family who had a classical dyskeratosis congenita triad of features (Ding YG et al. J Invest Dermatol, 2004 Sep;123:470-3). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
