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. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
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. -
