Genes affected

ATRX (HGNC:886): (ATRX chromatin remodeler) The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATPase/helicase domain, and thus it belongs to the SWI/SNF family of chromatin remodeling proteins. This protein is found to undergo cell cycle-dependent phosphorylation, which regulates its nuclear matrix and chromatin association, and suggests its involvement in the gene regulation at interphase and chromosomal segregation in mitosis. Mutations in this gene are associated with X-linked syndromes exhibiting cognitive disabilities as well as alpha-thalassemia (ATRX) syndrome. These mutations have been shown to cause diverse changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, which may provide a link between chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, and gene expression in developmental processes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), ATRX. . Gene score misZ 3.1025 (greater than the threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with alpha thalassemia-X-linked intellectual disability syndrome, ATR-X-related syndrome, intellectual disability-hypotonic facies syndrome, X-linked, 1.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.963

In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on ATRX function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a ATRX-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 1846 of the ATRX protein (p.Leu1846Phe). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and phenylalanine. -
