Genes affected
NDRG1 (HGNC:7679): (N-myc downstream regulated 1) This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein involved in stress responses, hormone responses, cell growth, and differentiation. The encoded protein is necessary for p53-mediated caspase activation and apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are a cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D, and expression of this gene may be a prognostic indicator for several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4D Uncertain:2

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

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The NDRG1 c.1027C>T, p.Arg343Cys variant (rs146613168), to our knowledge, has not been reported in the medical literature; however, this variant is listed in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 362031). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.015% (36/246,612 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 343 is highly conserved, but computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.249). Based on the available information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 343 of the NDRG1 protein (p.Arg343Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs146613168, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with NDRG1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 362031). 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 expected to disrupt NDRG1 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. -

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

The c.1027C>T (p.R343C) alteration is located in exon 16 (coding exon 15) of the NDRG1 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1027, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 343 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
