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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 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.
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.21425495).

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant 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 output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The asparagine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ATRX-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 768 of the ATRX protein (p.Lys768Asn). The lysine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between lysine and asparagine. -
