Genes affected

GLI3 (HGNC:4319): (GLI family zinc finger 3) This gene encodes a protein which belongs to the C2H2-type zinc finger proteins subclass of the Gli family. They are characterized as DNA-binding transcription factors and are mediators of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. The protein encoded by this gene localizes in the cytoplasm and activates patched Drosophila homolog (PTCH) gene expression. It is also thought to play a role during embryogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with several diseases, including Greig cephalopolysyndactyly syndrome, Pallister-Hall syndrome, preaxial polydactyly type IV, and postaxial polydactyly types A1 and B.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 4 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-41964677-TG-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-41964677-TG-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 459213.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature. However a pathogenic frameshift variant (p.Thr1488Lysfs*23) occurs downstream of this frameshift (PMID: 24736735), which indicates truncation of the 3' end of the GLI3 protein is deleterious. This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 15 of the GLI3 mRNA (c.4395delC), causing a frameshift at codon 1466. This creates a premature translational stop signal in the last exon of the GLI3 mRNA (p.Ser1466Alafs*22). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to result in a truncated GLI3 protein. -
