Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000474.4(TWIST1):​c.346C>T​(p.Arg116Trp) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R116P) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Genes affected

TWIST1 (HGNC:12428): (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of genes involved in cranial suture closure during skull development. This protein may also regulate neural tube closure, limb development and brown fat metabolism. This gene is hypermethylated and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as metastatic recurrence. Mutations in this gene cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, ptosis and hypertelorism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

ACMG classification

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

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 11 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000474.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr7-19116975-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2093953.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 31 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.057 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -0.22696 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Saethre-Chotzen syndrome, Sweeney-Cox syndrome, isolated brachycephaly, TWIST1-related craniosynostosis, isolated plagiocephaly, isolated scaphocephaly.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.983
• PP5: Variant 7-19116976-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-19116976-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3376165.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
