Genes affected
PCNT (HGNC:16068): (pericentrin) The protein encoded by this gene binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome. It is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). The protein contains a series of coiled-coil domains and a highly conserved PCM targeting motif called the PACT domain near its C-terminus. The protein interacts with the microtubule nucleation component gamma-tubulin and is likely important to normal functioning of the centrosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell-cycle progression. Mutations in this gene cause Seckel syndrome-4 and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1370 of the PCNT protein (p.Arg1370Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs145055342, gnomAD 0.1%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCNT-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 195605). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The glutamine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect 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. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PCNT c.4109G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1370Gln. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with PCNT-associated disorders in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.11% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be an undocumented primary cause of disease. Although we suspect this variant may be benign, at this time, its clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
