Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP3BS2

The NM_139058.3(ARX):​c.321_341delGGCGGCGGCGGCGGCAGCGGC​(p.Ala108_Ala114del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000914 in 766,243 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. There are 3 hemizygotes in GnomAD. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

Genes affected
ARX (HGNC:18060): (aristaless related homeobox) This gene is a homeobox-containing gene expressed during development. The expressed protein contains two conserved domains, a C-peptide (or aristaless domain) and the prd-like class homeobox domain. It is a member of the group-II aristaless-related protein family whose members are expressed primarily in the central and/or peripheral nervous system. This gene is thought to be involved in CNS development. Expansion of a polyalanine tract and other mutations in this gene cause X-linked cognitive disability and epilepsy.

This variant, c.321_341del, results in the deletion of 7 amino acid(s) of the ARX protein (p.Ala109_Ala115del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ARX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540220). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
