Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1445Argfs*29) in the ALPK3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALPK3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21441111, 26846950, 27106955, 34263907). This variant is present in population databases (rs745688425, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ALPK3-related conditions (PMID: 32480058). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 504881). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Lys1445fs variant in ALPK3 has not been previously reported in individuals with cardiomyopathy, but was identified in 2/76928 European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This var iant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid s equence beginning at position 1445 and leads to a premature termination codon 29 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncate d or absent protein. Biallelic loss-of-function (LOF) variants in the ALPK3 gene have been reported in multiple individuals and a mouse model with cardiomyopath y (HCM or mixed HCM/DCM; Almomani 2016, Phelan 2016, Van Sligtenhorst 2012). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinica l significance, the p.Lys1445fs variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PVS1_Strong. -
