Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The ENST00000394505.7(KRIT1):c.990G>A(p.Trp330Ter) variant causes a stop gained, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. 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]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 7-92226682-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-92226682-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 468221.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr7-92226682-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in KRIT1 are known to be pathogenic. This particular variant has been reported in the literature in an individual with cerebral cavernous malformations (PMID: 23595507). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 330 (p.Trp330*) of the KRIT1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
