Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PP3PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003384.3(VRK1):c.1160G>A(p.Arg387His) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000361 in 1,605,040 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R387C) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The p.R387H variant (also known as c.1160G>A) is located in coding exon 12 of the VRK1 gene. The arginine at codon 387 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This change occurs in the first base pair of coding exon 12. This variant has been previously reported in the homozygous state in 2 unrelated patients of Moroccan Jewish descent with adult-onset distal hereditary motor neuropathy (Greenbaum L et al. Muscle Nerve, 2020 Mar;61:395-400). Functional studies show reduced protein interactions with nucleosomes and slightly reduced localization to metaphase plate in vitro (Budziszewski GR et al. Nucleic Acids Res, 2022 May;50:4355-4371). Based on internal structural analysis, R387H disrupts a motif critical to nucleosome-binding (Shin J et al. J Biol Chem, 2011 Jun;286:22131-8; Yokobori K et al. Biosci Rep, 2020 Apr;40; Campillo-Marcos I et al. Cancer Lett, 2021 Apr;503:117-128; Budziszewski GR et al. Nucleic Acids Res, 2022 May;50:4355-4371). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 387 of the VRK1 protein (p.Arg387His). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.07%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of spinal muscular atrophy/distal motor neuropathy (PMID: 31837156; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 521856). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
