Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM1BP4_ModerateBS1_Supporting

The NM_000474.4(TWIST1):c.70C>G(p.Pro24Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000261 in 1,457,786 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P24L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
TWIST1 (HGNC:12428): (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) This gene encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor that plays an important role in embryonic development. The encoded protein forms both homodimers and heterodimers that bind to DNA E box sequences and regulate the transcription of genes involved in cranial suture closure during skull development. This protein may also regulate neural tube closure, limb development and brown fat metabolism. This gene is hypermethylated and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, and the encoded protein promotes tumor cell invasion and metastasis, as well as metastatic recurrence. Mutations in this gene cause Saethre-Chotzen syndrome in human patients, which is characterized by craniosynostosis, ptosis and hypertelorism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2020]

PM1
In a chain Twist-related protein 1 (size 201) in uniprot entity TWST1_HUMAN there are 59 pathogenic changes around while only 10 benign (86%) in NM_000474.4
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.2169458).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0000264 (4/151766) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.000773 (4/5172). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000263. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 1 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.

Saethre-Chotzen syndrome;C4551902:TWIST1-related craniosynostosis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 22, 2018In 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. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TWIST1-related disease. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change replaces proline with alanine at codon 24 of the TWIST1 protein (p.Pro24Ala). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between proline and alanine. -
