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 Pathogenic. Variant got 15 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-154765505-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-154765505-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 11591.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-154765505-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The T49M variant has been reported previously in a male patient diagnosed with Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome (Knight et al., 1999). The T49M 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. The T49M variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts that this substitution is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects DKC1 function (PMID: 19835419). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 11591). This missense change has been observed in individuals with dyskeratosis congenita (PMID: 10583221, 11491307, 14648217, 24914498). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 49 of the DKC1 protein (p.Thr49Met). -
