Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate
The NM_194454.3(KRIT1):c.1683_1695delAGTCTATGGAAAT(p.Val562MetfsTer11) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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 Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
KRIT1 (HGNC:1573): (KRIT1 ankyrin repeat containing) This gene encodes a protein containing four ankyrin repeats, a band 4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin (FERM) domain, and multiple NPXY sequences. The encoded protein is localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It binds to integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein-1 alpha (ICAP1alpha), and plays a critical role in beta1-integrin-mediated cell proliferation. It associates with junction proteins and RAS-related protein 1A (Rap1A), which requires the encoded protein for maintaining the integrity of endothelial junctions. It is also a microtubule-associated protein and may play a role in microtubule targeting. Mutations in this gene result in cerebral cavernous malformations. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Variant 7-92214645-AATTTCCATAGACT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-92214645-AATTTCCATAGACT-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 468211.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in KRIT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24689081). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change deletes 13 nucleotides from exon 16 of the KRIT1 mRNA (c.1683_1695del), causing a frameshift at codon 562. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val562Metfs*11) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
