Variant summary: RMRP n.-23_-6dup18 is located in the untranscribed region upstream of the RMRP gene region and involves the duplication of 18 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 1.3e-05 in 158634 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of n.-23_-6dup18 in individuals affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on RNA function have been reported. However, many other insertions or duplications in the promoter region of RMRP have been reported in affected individuals in the literature (e.g. PMIDs: 21956908, 21396580) and have been demonstrated through functional studies to lead to reduced RMRP transcription (e.g. PMIDs: 11207361, 16254002, 17937437). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551924). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Anauxetic dysplasia Pathogenic:1
This variant has been observed in individual(s) with cartilage-hair hypoplasia-anauxetic dysplasia spectrum disorders (Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. Other insertions and duplications immediately upstream of the coding sequence have been reported in individuals affected with cartilage-hair hypoplasia-anauxetic dysplasia (CHH-AD) spectrum disorders (PMID: 16244706, 11207361, 12107819). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 551924). While functional studies for this variant have not been reported, experimental analyses using patient derived cells, as well as in vitro transfection studies, have shown that promoter insertions result in silencing of RMRP transcription and reduced expression of the gene product (PMID: 11207361, 16254002). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.008%). This variant occurs in the RMRP gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. -
