Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_006941.4(SOX10):​c.426G>T​(p.Trp142Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W142S) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 13 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_006941.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr22-37983360-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 915461.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988
• PP5: Variant 22-37983359-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-37983359-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 801016.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 142 of the SOX10 protein (p.Trp142Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Waardenburg syndrome (PMID: 37272645). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 801016). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt SOX10 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
