Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_Strong
The NM_006279.5(ST3GAL3):c.782G>A(p.Arg261Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000539 in 1,614,078 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).
ST3GAL3 (HGNC:10866): (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsymdromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

The c.782G>A (p.R261Q) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 9) of the ST3GAL3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 782, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 261 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 261 of the ST3GAL3 protein (p.Arg261Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs144263012, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ST3GAL3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 461329). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ST3GAL3 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
