Genes affected

DCTN1 (HGNC:2711): (dynactin subunit 1) This gene encodes the largest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit interacts with dynein intermediate chain by its domains directly binding to dynein and binds to microtubules via a highly conserved glycine-rich cytoskeleton-associated protein (CAP-Gly) domain in its N-terminus. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause distal hereditary motor neuronopathy type VIIB (HMN7B) which is also known as distal spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (dSBMA). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.36).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000276 (42/152132) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00275 (42/15262). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00209. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 30 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 42 AD gene.

This sequence change falls in intron 25 of the DCTN1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DCTN1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs754143116, gnomAD 0.04%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DCTN1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574930). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
