Genes affected
GLI3 (HGNC:4319): (GLI family zinc finger 3) This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger proteins subclass of the Gli family. They are characterized as DNA-binding transcription factors and are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. The protein encoded by this gene localizes in the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. It is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with several diseases, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

The GLI3 c.1927C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg643*). This variant in the heterozygous condition was reported in individuals with postaxial polydactyly (Radhakrishna et al 1999. PubMed ID: 10441570; Kariminejad et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32112393). This variant in the homozygous condition was reported in a fetus from consanguineous family with Pallister-Hall-like syndrome (Kariminejad et al 2020. PubMed ID: 32112393). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Nonsense variants in GLI3 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
