Genes affected
RAC1 (HGNC:9801): (Rac family small GTPase 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a GTPase which belongs to the RAS superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins. Members of this superfamily appear to regulate a diverse array of cellular events, including the control of cell growth, cytoskeletal reorganization, and the activation of protein kinases. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 3 uncertain in NM_006908.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP2
Missense variant in the RAC1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 23 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.1347 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.9366 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to intellectual disability, autosomal dominant 48.
PP5
Variant 7-6391932-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-6391932-A-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 445281.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.116A>G (p.N39S) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the RAC1 gene. This alteration results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 116, causing the asparagine (N) at amino acid position 39 to be replaced by a serine (S). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant was determined to be de novo in at least one individual with features consistent with RAC1-related neurodevelopmental disorder (Reijnders, 2017; DECIPHER). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). Mouse fibroblast spreading assays and in vivo overexpression assays using zebrafish demonstrated that the variant functions as a dominant-negative allele and results in microcephaly and reduced neuronal proliferation (Reijnders, 2017). This alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

Published functional studies demonstrate microcephaly, reduced neuronal proliferation, and cerebellar abnormalities in Zebrafish studies and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading in mouse fibroblasts indicating a dominant negative effect (Reijnders et al., 2017); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33302361, 33397633, 28886345, 27479843, 31646703)
