Genes affected
PCNT (HGNC:16068): (pericentrin) The protein encoded by this gene binds to calmodulin and is expressed in the centrosome. It is an integral component of the pericentriolar material (PCM). The protein contains a series of coiled-coil domains and a highly conserved PCM targeting motif called the PACT domain near its C-terminus. The protein interacts with the microtubule nucleation component gamma-tubulin and is likely important to normal functioning of the centrosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell-cycle progression. Mutations in this gene cause Seckel syndrome-4 and microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 28, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1998*) in the PCNT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PCNT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18174396, 22821869). This variant is present in population databases (rs757577162, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (PMID: 18174396). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436268). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 09, 2024The PCNT c.5992C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Gln1998*). This variant, with a second PCNT variant, has been reported in individuals with microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type 2 (Table S2, Rauch et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18174396; Table S1, Bober et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22821869). This variant is reported in 0.0057% of alleles in individuals of European (Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in PCNT are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
