Genes affected

SOX18 (HGNC:11194): (SRY-box transcription factor 18) This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of the cell fate. The encoded protein may act as a transcriptional regulator after forming a protein complex with other proteins. This protein plays a role in hair, blood vessel, and lymphatic vessel development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with recessive and dominant forms of hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.584 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 20-64048840-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-64048840-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 162093.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln161*) in the SOX18 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 224 amino acid(s) of the SOX18 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with SOX18-related conditions (PMID: 26148450). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162093). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on SOX18 function (PMID: 31358114). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
