Genes affected

LHX3 (HGNC:6595): (LIM homeobox 3) This gene encodes a member of a large family of proteins which carry the LIM domain, a unique cysteine-rich zinc-binding domain. The encoded protein is a transcription factor that is required for pituitary development and motor neuron specification. Mutations in this gene cause combined pituitary hormone deficiency 3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jul 20, 2016	The R312P variant in the LHX3 gene has been reported previously in one individual with pituitary aplasia; however, no second LHX3 variant was identified, and R312P was also present in the heterozygous state in this individual's unaffected father and sister (Sobrier et al., 2006). The R312P variant was not observed at any significant frequency in approximately 6300 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R312P variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved, and in silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function. We interpret R312P as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Mar 04, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 312 of the LHX3 protein (p.Arg312Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs182345541, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LHX3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279837). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Fulgent Genetics, Fulgent Genetics	Oct 31, 2018	- -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

Sep 12, 2024

The LHX3 c.935G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg312Pro. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.13% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
