Genes affected
DUOXA2 (HGNC:32698): (dual oxidase maturation factor 2) This gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum protein that is necessary for proper cellular localization and maturation of functional dual oxidase 2. Mutations in this gene have been associated with thyroid dyshormonogenesis 5.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
DUOXA1 (HGNC:26507): (dual oxidase maturation factor 1) Dual oxidases DUOX1 and DUOX2 are NADPH oxidases which are involved in hydrogen peroxide production necessary for thyroid hormonogenesis. They form a heterodimer with specific maturation factors DUOXA1 and DUOXA2, respectively, which is essential for the maturation and function of the DUOX enzyme complexes. This gene encodes the DUOX1 activator or maturation factor DUOXA1. Rat studies identified a bidirectional promoter which controls the transcription of the DUOX1 and DUOXA1 genes. This protein is cotransported to the cell surface when coexpressed with DUOX1 and is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum when expressed without DUOX1 protein. The expression of this gene or the DUOX1 gene is not suppressed by thyroglobulin (Tg), a macromolecular precursor in thyroid hormone synthesis, while the expression of the DUOX2 and DUOXA2 are significantly suppressed by the Tg. This protein is also a p53-regulated neurogenic factor involved in p53 dependent neuronal differentiation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.014%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10%. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 18042646). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 18042646, 23292166, 25675383, 30110704). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000000444 /PMID: 18042646). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The c.738C>G (p.Y246*) alteration, located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the DUOXA2 gene, consists of a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 738. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine (Y) to a stop codon at amino acid position 246. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the DUOXA2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 23.4% (75/320 amino acids) of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in the homozygous state and in trans with a second DUOXA2 mutation in several patients with congenital hypothyroidism (Zamproni, 2008; Yi, 2013; Liu, 2015; Tanase-Nakao, 2018; Jung, 2020). In vitro studies showed reduced protein expression and inability to reconstitute DUOX2 activity, consistent with complete loss of function (Zamproni, 2008). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
