Genes affected

PDGFRA (HGNC:8803): (platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha) This gene encodes a cell surface tyrosine kinase receptor for members of the platelet-derived growth factor family. These growth factors are mitogens for cells of mesenchymal origin. The identity of the growth factor bound to a receptor monomer determines whether the functional receptor is a homodimer or a heterodimer, composed of both platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha and beta polypeptides. Studies suggest that this gene plays a role in organ development, wound healing, and tumor progression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome, somatic and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumors, and a variety of other cancers.

This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the PDGFRA gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PDGFRA protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs756252598, gnomAD 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PDGFRA-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240351). 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. -

The c.49+4C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 1 in the PDGFRA gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
