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.E1067* variant (also known as c.3199G>T), located in coding exon 27 of the DCTN1 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3199. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 27. This alteration is expected to result in premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of DCTN1 has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. The current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in DCTN1 cause disease. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with DCTN1-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs376996779, ExAC 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1067*) in the DCTN1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
