Genes affected
ST3GAL3 (HGNC:10866): (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsymdromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingCenter for Genomics, Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of ChicagoMar 30, 2021ST3GAL3 NM_006279.4 exon 6 p.Arg121Gln (c.362G>A): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.03% (27/68016) of European alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-43894442-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r3). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:198193). Evolutionary conservation suggests that this variant may impact the protein; computational predictive tools suggest that this variant may not impact the protein. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 22, 2022The c.362G>A (p.R121Q) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the ST3GAL3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 362, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 121 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Early infantile epileptic encephalopathy with suppression bursts Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 01, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 121 of the ST3GAL3 protein (p.Arg121Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs201287443, gnomAD 0.04%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ST3GAL3-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198193). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ST3GAL3 protein function. 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. -
