Genes affected
CTU2 (HGNC:28005): (cytosolic thiouridylase subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein which is involved in the post-transcriptional modification of transfer RNAs (tRNAs). The encoded protein plays a role in thiolation of uridine residue present at the wobble position in a subset of tRNAs, resulting in enhanced codon reading accuracy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Synonymous variant: previously reported to alter splicing and result in a loss of normal protein fucnction through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation (PMID: 26633546, PVS1_VS). The variant was co-segregated with Microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, renal agenesis, and ambiguous genitalia syndrome in multiple affected family members (PMID: 27480277, PP1_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000009, PM2_M). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 27480277, 26633546, 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change affects codon 291 of the CTU2 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CTU2 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in CTU2 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs769481947, gnomAD 0.001%). This variant has been observed in individuals with CTU2-related conditions (PMID: 26633546). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585016). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 26633546). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
