Genes affected
PNKP (HGNC:9154): (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase) This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with ataxia-oculomotor apraxia 4 (MIM#616267), and microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay (MIM#613402). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0205 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein (premature termination codon is NOT located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction) with less than 1/3 of the protein sequence affected (PMID: 22508754). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (38 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0600 - Variant results in the loss of part of the annotated AAA domain (PDB). (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has previously been described as pathogenic in multiple homozygous and compound heterozygous patients, with either ataxia-oculomotor apraxia 4 or microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay (ClinVar, PMID: 31436889, PMID: 31707899). (SP) 1102 - Strong phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1201 - Heterozygous variant detected in trans with a second pathogenic heterozygous variant (p.(Ser430Lysfs*39)) in a recessive disease.

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 11, 2019The c.1253_1269dup17 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 13 of the PNKP gene, results from a duplication of GGGTCGCCATCGACAAC at nucleotide position 1253, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T424Gfs*49). This frameshift occurs at the 3' terminus of PNKP, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts only the last 98 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these altered amino acids is unknown at this time. However, this variant has been reported in compound heterozygote and homozygous individuals with microcephaly, seizures and developmental delay, as well as ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 4 (Shen J et al. Nat. Genet., 2010 Mar;42:245-9; Poulton C et al. Neurogenetics, 2013 Feb;14:43-51; Bras J et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2015 Mar;96:474-9; Scholz C et al. Clin. Genet., 2018 Jul;94:185-186). This variant has also been shown to lose DNA kinase activity in functional studies (Reynolds JJ et al. Nucleic Acids Res., 2012 Aug;40:6608-19). Based on our internal structural assessment, this alteration results in loss of large parts of the polynucleotide kinase domain, including helices involved in DNA and NTP binding (Garces F et al. Mol. Cell, 2011 Nov;44:385-96). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 02, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr424Glyfs*49) in the PNKP gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 98 amino acid(s) of the PNKP protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs587784365, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with microcephaly, early-onset, intractable seizures and developmental delay (MCSZ), ataxia with oculomotor apraxia, and progressive cerebellar atrophy and polyneuropathy (PMID: 20118933, 23224214, 25558065, 25728773). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.1250_1251insAACGGGTCGCCATCGAC (p.R418Tfs*55). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4847). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal affects PNKP function (PMID: 22508754). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
