Genes affected
RMRP (HGNC:10031): (RNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease) This gene encodes the RNA component of mitochondrial RNA processing endoribonuclease, which cleaves mitochondrial RNA at a priming site of mitochondrial DNA replication. This RNA also interacts with the telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit to form a distinct ribonucleoprotein complex that has RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity and produces double-stranded RNAs that can be processed into small interfering RNA. Mutations in this gene are associated with cartilage-hair hypoplasia.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, McKusick type Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 01, 2018Variant summary: RMRP n.-19_-3dup17 (also known as r.-19_-3dup17) variant involves the duplication of 17 nucleotides in the promoter region of RMRP, which is located between the TATA box (-33 to -25) and the transcription initiation site. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.3e-05 in 153424 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in RMRP causing Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia (3.3e-05 vs 0.0072), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. n.-19_-3dup17 has been reported in the literature in at least two individuals affected with Cartilage-Hair Hypoplasia in compound heterozygous state (Ridanpaa_2001, Bonafa_2005). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. However, variant n.-20_-19insTCTGTGAAGCTGGGGAC (rs727502779) that resembles to our variant of interest with one nucleotide difference (the 13th nt) has been reported in CHH patient and the expression analysis revealed that the allele with this insertion mutation in the promoter region silenced the gene (Nakashima_RMRP_AJMG_2003). One reputable database, OMIM, submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar and classified this variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Anauxetic dysplasia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 07, 2024This variant occurs in the RMRP gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs727502778, gnomAD 0.009%). This variant has been observed in individuals with cartilage-hair hypoplasia (PMID: 11207361). Other insertions and duplications immediately upstream of the coding sequence have been reported in individuals affected with cartilage-hair hypoplasia-anauxetic dysplasia (CHH-AD) spectrum disorders (PMID: 16244706, 11207361, 12107819). This variant is also known as dupTCTGTGAAGCTGAGGAC at -3. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 14214). While functional studies for this variant have not been reported, experimental analyses using patient derived cells, as well as in vitro transfection studies, have shown that promoter insertions result in silencing of RMRP transcription and reduced expression of the gene product (PMID: 11207361, 16254002). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
