Genes affected

SOX10 (HGNC:11190): (SRY-box transcription factor 10) This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional activator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein acts as a nucleocytoplasmic shuttle protein and is important for neural crest and peripheral nervous system development. Mutations in this gene are associated with Waardenburg-Shah and Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

POLR2F (HGNC:9193): (RNA polymerase II, I and III subunit F) This gene encodes the sixth largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing messenger RNA in eukaryotes. In yeast, this polymerase subunit, in combination with at least two other subunits, forms a structure that stabilizes the transcribing polymerase on the DNA template. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 21 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-37973788-TG-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-37973788-TG-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 503991.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.1107delC variant in the SOX10 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.1107delC variant causes a frameshift, changing codon Tyrosine 369 to a premature Stop codon, denoted p.Tyr369Ter. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.1107delC variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.1107delC as a pathogenic variant. -
