Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PP5_Very_Strong
The ENST00000363046.2(RMRP):n.-2_-1insTACTCTGTGAAGCTGAGGAC variant causes a upstream gene change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000074 in 689,116 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_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 summary: RMRP n.-22_-3dup20 involves the duplication of 20 nucleotides in the promoter region of RMRP, which is located between the TATA box (-33 to -25) and the transcription initiation site. Other insertions or duplications in the promoter region of RMRP have been classified as pathogenic (internally and in ClinVar). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.7e-05 in 158744 control chromosomes (all heterozygotes). The variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia (Harada_2005, Hermanns_2006, Turkkani-Asal_2009). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant resulted in severely reduced RMRP transcription (Hermanns_2005). Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as pathogenic (n=1) / likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
The variant n.-21_-2dupTACTCTGTGAAGCTGAGGAC was identified in a compound heterozygous state with another variant in the transcribed region of RMRP gene in an individual affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia. This alteration is located within the promoter region of the RMRP gene, which encodes an untranslated RNA. Segregation analysis showed that each of the unaffected parents was heterozygous for one of the two variants. Other insertions and duplications in this region have been reported in individuals affected with cartilage-hair hypoplasia-anauxetic dysplasia spectrum disorders (PMID: 11207361, 21956908, 21396580). This variant involves the duplication of 20 nucleotides between the TATA box and the transcription initiation site and functional studies have shown that this type of alteration result in reduced expression of the RMRP gene (PMIDs: 11207361, 16254002). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Anauxetic dysplasia Pathogenic:1
This variant occurs in the RMRP gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) (PMID: 15780958, 16838329). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as -4_-23dup, -5_-24dup, and -6_-25dup. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550387). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects RMRP function (PMID: 16254002). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
