Genes affected

DDX3X (HGNC:2745): (DEAD-box helicase 3 X-linked) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large DEAD-box protein family, that is defined by the presence of the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif, and has ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. This protein has been reported to display a high level of RNA-independent ATPase activity, and unlike most DEAD-box helicases, the ATPase activity is thought to be stimulated by both RNA and DNA. This protein has multiple conserved domains and is thought to play roles in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear roles include transcriptional regulation, mRNP assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA export. In the cytoplasm, this protein is thought to be involved in translation, cellular signaling, and viral replication. Misregulation of this gene has been implicated in tumorigenesis. This gene has a paralog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. Pseudogenes sharing similarity to both this gene and the DDX3Y paralog are found on chromosome 4 and the X chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-41346541-CAT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-41346541-CAT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 207812.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chrX-41346541-CAT-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: DDX3X c.1535_1536delAT (p.His512ArgfsX5) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 181440 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1535_1536delAT has been reported in the literature in several heterozygous female individuals affected with X-Linked Intellectual Disability 102, including at least three cases where it was confirmed to be de novo (Snijders Blok_2015, Chanes_2019, Ziats_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

[ACMG/AMP: PVS1, PM1, PM2, PM6, PS4_Moderate] This alteration is a null variant in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease [PVS1], is located in a mutational hotspot and/or critical and well-established functional domain [PM1], is absent from or rarely observed in large-scale population databases [PM2], is de novo in origin as it was not detected in the submitted parental specimens (identity NOT confirmed) [PM6], has previously been observed in multiple unrelated patients with the same phenotype [PS4_Moderate]. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His512Argfs*5) in the DDX3X gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DDX3X are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 26235985). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with X-linked intellectual disability (PMID: 26235985). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 207812). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1535_1536delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 14 of the DDX3X gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1535 to 1536, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.H512Rfs*5). This alteration was detected as a de novo occurrence in two females with mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, hypotonia, ventricular enlargement, and precocious puberty (Snijders Blok L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2015 Aug;97:343-52). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
