Genes affected

RMRP (HGNC:10031): (RNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease) This gene encodes the RNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease, which cleaves mitochondrial RNA at a priming site of mitochondrial DNA replication. This RNA also interacts with the telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit to form a distinct ribonucleoprotein complex that has RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity and produces double-stranded RNAs that can be processed into small interfering RNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with cartilage-hair hypoplasia.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-35658030-T-TTCACAGAG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-35658030-T-TTCACAGAG is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 551691.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Mar 16, 2022	Variant summary: RMRP n.-20_-13dupCTCTGTGA is located in the untranscribed region upstream of the RMRP gene region, 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 was absent in 127922 control chromosomes. 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.-20_-13dupCTCTGTGA in individuals affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Both laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This variant occurs in the RMRP gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, it is located in the promoter region between the TATA box and the transcription initiation site, and 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: 551691). 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. -
