Genes affected
AKT3 (HGNC:393): (AKT serine/threonine kinase 3) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the AKT, also called PKB, serine/threonine protein kinase family. AKT kinases are known to be regulators of cell signaling in response to insulin and growth factors. They are involved in a wide variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, as well as glycogen synthesis and glucose uptake. This kinase has been shown to be stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1). Alternatively splice transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as de novoo and observed in at least four similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 23745724, 22729224, PS2, PS4_M). The variant was observed as assumed (i.e. paternity and maternity not confirmed) de novoo (3billion dataset, PM6). It is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (PM2. Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism (PP2). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 465 of the AKT3 protein (p.Arg465Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with overlapping features of megalencephaly-capillary malformation (MCAP) and megalencephaly-polymicrogyria-polydactyly-hydrocephalus syndrome (MPPH) (PMID: 22729224, 23745724). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 39814). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects AKT3 function (PMID: 22729224, 23745724, 24705253). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
