Genes affected
VRK1 (HGNC:12718): (VRK serine/threonine kinase 1) This gene encodes a member of the vaccinia-related kinase (VRK) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. This gene is widely expressed in human tissues and has increased expression in actively dividing cells, such as those in testis, thymus, fetal liver, and carcinomas. Its protein localizes to the nucleus and has been shown to promote the stability and nuclear accumulation of a transcriptionally active p53 molecule and, in vitro, to phosphorylate Thr18 of p53 and reduce p53 ubiquitination. This gene, therefore, may regulate cell proliferation. This protein also phosphorylates histone, casein, and the transcription factors ATF2 (activating transcription factor 2) and c-JUN.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys295Glnfs*11) in the VRK1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in VRK1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19646678, 24126608, 27281532). This variant is present in population databases (rs779282547, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with VRK1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 464942). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
