Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_007254.4(PNKP):​c.406C>G​(p.Pro136Ala) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000479 in 1,461,878 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/23 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P136L) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

PNKP (HGNC:9154): (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase) This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.06984365).

p.Pro136Ala (CCG>GCG): c.406 C>G in exon 4 of the PNKP gene (NM_007254.2) The Pro136Ala missense change has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. The NHLBI ESP Exome Variant Project has not identified Pro136Ala in approximately 5,000 individuals of European or African American ethnicity, indicating that it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Although both Proline and Alanine are uncharged, non-polar amino acids, the loss of a Proline residue may alter the secondary structure of the protein. However, Pro136Ala alters a position that is not conserved in PNKP or in related proteins, and mutations have not been previously published in this region of the protein. Additionally, multiple in silico algorithms predict Pro136Ala is likely not pathogenic. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether Pro136Ala is a disease-causing mutation or a rare benign variant. The variant is found in INFANT-EPI panel(s). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 136 of the PNKP protein (p.Pro136Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs759530456, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PNKP-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206384). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
