Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_181458.4(PAX3):​c.812G>A​(p.Arg271His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R271G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a DNA_binding_region Homeobox (size 59) in uniprot entity PAX3_HUMAN there are 27 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_181458.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
• PP5: Variant 2-222221368-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-222221368-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 279964.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-222221368-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr2-222221368-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 271 of the PAX3 protein (p.Arg271His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Waardenburg syndrome (PMID: 8589691, 9654197, 20478267). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 279964). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PAX3 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg271 amino acid residue in PAX3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8589691, 8799378, 9654197, 20199465). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
