Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_Strong
The NM_017739.4(POMGNT1):c.1649G>T(p.Ser550Ile) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000138 in 1,444,796 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S550N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
POMGNT1 (HGNC:19139): (protein O-linked mannose N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 1 (beta 1,2-)) This gene encodes a type II transmembrane protein that resides in the Golgi apparatus. It participates in O-mannosyl glycosylation and is specific for alpha linked terminal mannose. Mutations in this gene may be associated with muscle-eye-brain disease and several congenital muscular dystrophies. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
