Genes affected
PRDM16 (HGNC:14000): (PR/SET domain 16) The reciprocal translocation t(1;3)(p36;q21) occurs in a subset of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This gene is located near the 1p36.3 breakpoint and has been shown to be specifically expressed in the t(1:3)(p36,q21)-positive MDS/AML. The protein encoded by this gene is a zinc finger transcription factor and contains an N-terminal PR domain. The translocation results in the overexpression of a truncated version of this protein that lacks the PR domain, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of MDS and AML. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg525Gln variant in PRDM16 has not been previously reported in individual s with cardiomyopathy, but has been identified in 6/8492 East Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs373011563). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Arg525Gln variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical signi ficance of the p.Arg525Gln variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: PRDM16 c.1574G>A (p.Arg525Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00014 in 246438 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00067 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 13.4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PRDM16 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (5e-05). c.1574G>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Cardiomyopathy (Burstein_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32746448). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229158). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (ClinVar Variant ID# 229158; Landrum et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1574G>A (p.R525Q) alteration is located in exon 9 (coding exon 9) of the PRDM16 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1574, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 525 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 525 of the PRDM16 protein (p.Arg525Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs373011563, gnomAD 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with dilated cardiomyopathy (PMID: 32746448). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 229158). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
