Genes affected
POC1A (HGNC:24488): (POC1 centriolar protein A) POC1 proteins contain an N-terminal WD40 domain and a C-terminal coiled coil domain and are part of centrosomes. They play an important role in basal body and cilia formation. This gene encodes one of the two POC1 proteins found in humans. Mutations in this gene result in short stature, onychodysplasia, facial dysmorphism, and hypotrichosis (SOFT) syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]

The observed stop gained variant c.241C>T(p.Arg81Ter) in POC1A gene has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with SOFT syndrome (Mericq V, et al., 2022, Ko JM, et al., 2016). The c.241C>T variant has 0.003% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Likely Pathogenic / Pathogenic (multiple submissions). Computational evidence (Mutation Taster - Disease causing) predicts damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing (Barraza-García J, et al., 2016). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: POC1A c.241C>T (p.Arg81X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 250974 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.241C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Short stature-onychodysplasia-facial dysmorphism-hypotrichosis syndrome (Min Ko_2016, Maddirevula_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32552793, 26791357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37062). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg81*) in the POC1A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POC1A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22840364, 26336158, 26374189). This variant is present in population databases (rs397514487, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with SOFT syndrome (PMID: 22840364, 26791357). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37062). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
