Genes affected
HNRNPU (HGNC:5048): (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U) This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that bind nucleic acids and function in the formation of ribonucleoprotein complexes in the nucleus with heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hnRNA). The encoded protein has affinity for both RNA and DNA, and binds scaffold-attached region (SAR) DNA. Mutations in this gene have been associated with epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 54. A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2017]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

PVS1
Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
PP5
Variant 1-244863647-CTCCGCCGCCT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-244863647-CTCCGCCGCCT-C is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 267738.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000025 (35/1400306) while in subpopulation MID AF = 0.000231 (1/4338). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000386. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 24 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly218Alafs*118) in the HNRNPU gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HNRNPU are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 22678713, 28283832). This variant is present in population databases (rs779453109, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with HNRNPU-related conditions (PMID: 28815871). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267738). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
