Genes affected

PAX2 (HGNC:8616): (paired box 2) PAX2 encodes paired box gene 2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. The central feature of this transcription factor gene family is the conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional supression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1. Mutations within PAX2 have been shown to result in optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Start lost variant, next in-frame start position is after 2 pathogenic variants. Next in-frame start position is after 3 codons. Genomic position: 100746267. Lost 0.006 part of the original CDS.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Variant summary: PAX2 c.2T>A (p.Met1Lys) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. An alternative downstream in-frame start codon (p.Met3) is located in exon 1 of the encoded protein. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 248590 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2T>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with congenital primary aphakia (e.g., Ernst_2022). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with PAX2-Related Disorders. 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: 35051625). No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
