Genes affected
PCNT (HGNC:16068): (pericentrin) The protein encoded by this gene binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome. It is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). The protein contains a series of coiled-coil domains and a highly conserved PCM targeting motif called the PACT domain near its C-terminus. The protein interacts with the microtubule nucleation component gamma-tubulin and is likely important to normal functioning of the centrosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell-cycle progression. Mutations in this gene cause Seckel syndrome-4 and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Gln2376X variant in PCNT has not been previously reported in the literatur e or in large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature ter mination codon at position 2376, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or ab sent protein. Nonsense and other loss of function variants in PCNT are establish ed to be disease causing for microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism t ype 2. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogeni c for microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 2 in an autosomal r ecessive manner based upon its predicted impact to the protein. -
