Genes affected
ARX (HGNC:18060): (aristaless related homeobox) This gene is a homeobox-containing gene expressed during development. The expressed protein contains two conserved domains, a C-peptide (or aristaless domain) and the prd-like class homeobox domain. It is a member of the group-II aristaless-related protein family whose members are expressed primarily in the central and/or peripheral nervous system. This gene is thought to be involved in CNS development. Expansion of a polyalanine tract and other mutations in this gene cause X-linked cognitive disability and epilepsy.

Variant summary: ARX c.1561G>A (p.Ala521Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.7e-05 in 111006 control chromosomes, including one hemizygote. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1561G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with X-linked lissencephaly with abnormal genitalia and cerebellar hypoplasia (Kato_2004). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 14722918). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 210322). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 521 of the ARX protein (p.Ala521Thr). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with ARX-related conditions (PMID: 14722918; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 210322). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt ARX protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
