Genes affected

TGFB3 (HGNC:11769): (transforming growth factor beta 3) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGF-beta binding protein, or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGF-beta family members. This protein is involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation, and may play a role in wound healing. Mutations in this gene are a cause of aortic aneurysms and dissections, as well as familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]

IFT43 (HGNC:29669): (intraflagellar transport 43) This gene encodes a subunit of the intraflagellar transport complex A (IFT-A). IFT-A is a multiprotein complex that plays an important role in cilia assembly and maintenance by mediating retrograde ciliary transport. Mutations in this gene are a cause of cranioectodermal dysplasia-3 (CED3), also known as Sensenbrenner syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

The c.1102_1105delCTGA (p.L368Tfs*18) alteration, located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the TGFB3 gene, consists of a deletion of 4 nucleotides from position 1102 to 1105, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 18 amino acids. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theTGFB3 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 10% of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the TGFB3 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Lys407*) have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 520206). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TGFB3-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu368Thrfs*18) in the TGFB3 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 45 amino acid(s) of the TGFB3 protein. -
