Genes affected

DCTN1 (HGNC:2711): (dynactin subunit 1) This gene encodes the largest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit interacts with dynein intermediate chain by its domains directly binding to dynein and binds to microtubules via a highly conserved glycine-rich cytoskeleton-associated protein (CAP-Gly) domain in its N-terminus. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIB (HMN7B) which is also known as distal spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (dSBMA). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

The p.Arg225Trp variant (rs371723224) has not been reported in the medical literature, nor is it listed in gene-specific variant databases. The p.Arg225Trp variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) browser with an overall allele frequency of 0.004% (identified in 10 out of 246,064 chromosomes). The arginine at codon 225 is highly conserved considering 10 species up to opossum (Alamut software v2.10.0), but computational analyses predict conflicting effects of this variant on protein structure/function (SIFT: damaging, PolyPhen2: benign). Therefore, based on the available information, the clinical significance of the p.Arg225Trp variant cannot be determined with certainty. -

The R225W variant in the DCTN1 gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The variant is observed in 2/9848 (0.02%) alleles from individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish background in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). The 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. This substitution occurs at a position where amino acids with similar properties to Arginine are tolerated across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret R225W as a variant of uncertain significance. -

The DCTN1 c.673C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg225Trp. This variant was reported in an individual with a behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (Bartoletti-Stella et al 2018. PubMed ID: 29525180, Table 3). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-74598276-G-A). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 225 of the DCTN1 protein (p.Arg225Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs371723224, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dementia (PMID: 29525180). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 453052). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on DCTN1 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. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: DCTN1 c.673C>T (p.Arg225Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 251290 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 44 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in DCTN1 causing Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, type 7B phenotype (1e-06). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 453052). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
