Syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type Pathogenic:3
The hemizygous p.Arg255His variant in CASK was identified by our study in one individual with mental retardation and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia. This variant was absent from large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. The CASK gene has a low rate of benign missense variation and there is a different pathogenic missense variant at the same position, p.Arg255Cys. These support the possibility that an amino acid change at this position may not be tolerated. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar with de novo inheritance (Variation ID: 158084). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg255His variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM5, PP2, PM6 (Richards 2015). -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with intellectual developmental disorder and microcephaly with pontine and cerebellar hypoplasia (MIM#300749) and intellectual disability with or without nystagmus (MIM#300422). (I) 0110 - This gene is associated with X-linked disease. However, intellectual developmental disorder, with or without nystagmus (MIM#300422) is associated with hypomorphic variants that typically cause symptoms in hemizygous males but not in heterozygous females (PMID: 24278995). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to histidine. (I) 0253 - This variant is hemizygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0603 - Missense variant in a region that is highly intolerant to missense variation (high constraint region in DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar and as de novo in three unrelated individuals with CASK-related symptoms (ClinVar, PMID: 32989192, 35550617). (SP) 1203 - This variant has been shown to be de novo in the proband (parental status confirmed) (by trio analysis).

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000158084 /PMID: 35550617). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg255Cys) has been reported to be associated with CASK-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000421141 /PMID: 28944139). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 36198807, 33057194, 35982159, 35550617, Zhang2023[Case Report], 32989192) -

Intellectual disability, CASK-related, X-linked Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 255 of the CASK protein (p.Arg255His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CASK-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 158084). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on CASK protein function. In 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. -
