Genes affected

KLHL40 (HGNC:30372): (kelch like family member 40) This gene encodes a protein containing a BACK domain, a BTB/POZ domain, and 5 Kelch repeats, however, its exact function is not known. The gene and the multi-domain protein structure are conserved across different taxa, including primates, rodents, chicken and zebrafish. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.1, offset of 19, new splice context is: gtttgaccatctggactcAGagt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 3-42688140-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-42688140-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 541330.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the KLHL40 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in KLHL40 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23746549). This variant is present in population databases (rs752493018, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of KLHL40-related conditions (PMID: 28973083). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 541330). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
