Genes affected

APTX (HGNC:15984): (aprataxin) This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair through its nucleotide-binding activity and its diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

APTX (HGNC:):

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Sep 14, 2023	This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). -

Ataxia, early-onset, with oculomotor apraxia and hypoalbuminemia Pathogenic:1

clinical testing

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Jan 03, 2017

The p.Arg42X (NM_175073.2 c.124C>T) variant in APTX has not been reported in ind ividuals with clinical features of ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1. This v ariant has been identified in 3/11578 of Latino chromosomes by the Exome Aggrega tion Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs201912053). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 42, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the APTX gene has been associated with ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 1. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish a null effect on the protein, the p.Arg42X variant in APTX is likely pathogenic for ata xia with oculomotor apraxia type 1 in an autosomal recessive manner based upon p redicted impact on protein function. -
