Genes affected
DCTN1 (HGNC:2711): (dynactin subunit 1) This gene encodes the largest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit interacts with dynein intermediate chain by its domains directly binding to dynein and binds to microtubules via a highly conserved glycine-rich cytoskeleton-associated protein (CAP-Gly) domain in its N-terminus. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIB (HMN7B) which is also known as distal spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (dSBMA). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Variant summary: DCTN1 c.442C>T (p.Arg148Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 251420 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum for a pathogenic variant in DCTN1 causing Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 1, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.442C>T has been reported in the literature in a cohort of individuals affected with motor neuron disease (MND) (Stockmann_2013). Authors of this study also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and demonstrated that this variant didn't affect the filamentous pattern of microtubules in non-neuronal cells (Stockmann_2013). The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23143281). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447238). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 148 of the DCTN1 protein (p.Arg148Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs148810193, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (PMID: 23143281). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447238). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect DCTN1 function (PMID: 23143281). 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. -
