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 9-35658035-A-AGAGTAGT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-35658035-A-AGAGTAGT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 553917.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Variant summary: RMRP n.-24_-18dupACTACTC involves the duplication of seven nucleotides in the promoter region of the RMRP gene which is located between the TATA box (at position -33 to -25) and the transcription initiation site (at +1). 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. n.-24_-18dupACTACTC has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia (e.g. Vatanavicharn_2010). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has 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). The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21063072). Two other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Both laboratories cited the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as 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). This variant has been observed in individuals with cartilage-hair hypoplasia (PMID: 21063072). 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). This variant is also known as g.-19_-25dupACTACTC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553917). 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. -
