Genes affected
ST3GAL3 (HGNC:10866): (ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a type II membrane protein that catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to galactose-containing substrates. The encoded protein is normally found in the Golgi apparatus but can be proteolytically processed to a soluble form. This protein is a member of glycosyltransferase family 29. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a form of autosomal recessive nonsymdromic cognitive disability as well as infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0049929023).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000453 (69/152352) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.006 (29/4830). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00429. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 38 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

The p.R360Q variant (also known as c.1079G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the ST3GAL3 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1079. The arginine at codon 360 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

ST3GAL3 NM_174963.4 exon 13 p.Arg429Gln (c.1286G>A): This variant has not been reported in the literature but is present in 0.4% (135/30616) of South Asian alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/1-44395844-G-A). This variant is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:130377). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are unclear. In summary, data on this variant is insufficient for disease classification. Therefore, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. -
