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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 15, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg792*) in the GLI3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GLI3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10441570, 15739154, 18000979, 24736735). This variant is present in population databases (rs121917714, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome (PMID: 10441342, 12794692, 26508445). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13828). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant has been reported to be causative for Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (Kalff-Suske et al. 1999. PubMed ID: 10441342), and polydactyly/polysyndactyly (Jamsheer et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22903559; Table 1, Sczakiel et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34482537). At PreventionGenetics, we previously detected this variant in several other patients. This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in GLI3 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
