Genes affected

PCDH19 (HGNC:14270): (protocadherin 19) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the delta-2 protocadherin subclass of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is thought to be a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that is primarily expressed in the brain. Mutations in this gene on human chromosome X are associated with sporadic infantile epileptic encephalopathy and to a female-restricted form of epilepsy (EFMR; also known as PCDH19RE). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-100407465-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-100407465-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 447916.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-100407465-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The S378X nonsense variant in the PCDH19 gene is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The S378X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Although this pathogenic variant has not been reported previously to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with the diagnosis of a PCDH19-related disorder in this individual. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser378*) in the PCDH19 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PCDH19 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21053371). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy (PMID: 30287595). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 447916). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
