Genes affected
VRK1 (HGNC:12718): (VRK serine/threonine kinase 1) This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This gene is widely expressed in human tissues and has increased expression in actively dividing cells, such as those in testis, thymus, fetal liver, and carcinomas. Its protein localizes to the nucleus and has been shown to promote the stability and nuclear accumulation of a transcriptionally active p53 molecule and, in vitro, to phosphorylate Thr18 of p53 and reduce p53 ubiquitination. This gene, therefore, may regulate cell proliferation. This protein also phosphorylates histone, casein, and the transcription factors ATF2 (activating transcription factor 2) and c-JUN.

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. -
