Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP2
The NM_001363.5(DKC1):āc.1039A>Cā(p.Ile347Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000953 in 1,049,502 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are no hemizygote samples in GnomAD. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar.
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the DKC1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 22 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 27 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3994 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome, DKC1-related disorder, dyskeratosis congenita, X-linked, dyskeratosis congenita.
