Genes affected

DCX (HGNC:2714): (doublecortin) This gene encodes a member of the doublecortin family. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein and contains two doublecortin domains, which bind microtubules. In the developing cortex, cortical neurons must migrate over long distances to reach the site of their final differentiation. The encoded protein appears to direct neuronal migration by regulating the organization and stability of microtubules. In addition, the encoded protein interacts with LIS1, the regulatory gamma subunit of platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase, and this interaction is important to proper microtubule function in the developing cortex. Mutations in this gene cause abnormal migration of neurons during development and disrupt the layering of the cortex, leading to epilepsy, cognitive disability, subcortical band heterotopia ("double cortex" syndrome) in females and lissencephaly ("smooth brain" syndrome) in males. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.30971843 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.7, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: acaGTaggt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-111400988-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-111400988-AC-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 434903.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
