Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_181458.4(PAX3):c.242G>C(p.Gly81Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,800 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G81C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 1 uncertain in NM_181458.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr2-222297057-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 963227.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 2-222297057-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-222297057-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4210.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr2-222297057-C-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr2-222297057-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PAX3 function (PMID: 9302254). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PAX3 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4210). This variant is also known as G48A. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant Waardenburg syndrome (PMID: 8490648). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 81 of the PAX3 protein (p.Gly81Ala). -
