Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000278.5(PAX2):​c.226G>A​(p.Gly76Ser) 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. 13/22 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G76R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected
PAX2 (HGNC:8616): (paired box 2) PAX2 encodes paired box gene 2, one of many human homologues of the Drosophila melanogaster gene prd. The central feature of this transcription factor gene family is the conserved DNA-binding paired box domain. PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional supression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1. Mutations within PAX2 have been shown to result in optic nerve colobomas and renal hypoplasia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 9 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_000278.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr10-100750707-G-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 636659.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 28 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.4895 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.8687 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to familial idiopathic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, renal coloboma syndrome, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
PP5
Variant 10-100750707-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr10-100750707-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 13799.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This PAX2 variant has been previously reported to segregate with renal-coloboma syndrome in multiple generations of a family. PAX2 c.226G>A is absent from a large population dataset, but has been reported in ClinVar. Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging and the glycine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across all species assessed. We consider this variant to be likely pathogenic.
