Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3PP5
The NM_003384.3(VRK1):c.266G>A(p.Arg89Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000682 in 1,613,200 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R89P) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 89 of the VRK1 protein (p.Arg89Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs773138218, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with VRK1-related conditions (PMID: 24126608; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 197213). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect with dramatically elevated phosphorylation activity (PMID: 31527692); Missense variants in this gene are a common cause of disease and they are underrepresented in the general population; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 24970098, 27281532, 26583493, 25609612, 24126608, 31527692) -

The c.266G>A (p.R89Q) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the VRK1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 266, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 89 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (8/251114) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.023% (8/34566) of Latino alleles. The VRK1 c.266G>A (p.R89Q) alteration has been reported in the compound heterozygous state along with another missense variant in two sisters presenting with delayed motor development, microcephaly and normal cognition. The older sister had hypotonia, progressive scoliosis, progressive muscle wasting and weakness leading to the use of a wheelchair beginning at age 4, respiratory dysfunction and limited use of her arms and hands. Her brain MRI showed a simplified gyral pattern and EMG studies showed evidence of severe axonal motor and sensory peripheral neuropathy. The younger sister had microcephaly identified in utero as well as similar brain MRI and EMG findings, but she had normal muscle bulk (Gonzaga-Jauregui, 2013). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
