Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_153033.5(KCTD7):c.456G>A(p.Val152=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000342 in 1,461,892 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Genes affected

KCTD7 (HGNC:21957): (potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 7) This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein family. Family members are identified on a structural basis and contain an amino-terminal domain similar to the T1 domain present in the voltage-gated potassium channel. Mutations in this gene have been associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy-3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Mar 17, 2023	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Undiagnosed Diseases Network, NIH	Aug 22, 2017	Heterozygous c.280C>T (p.R94W) likely pathogenic variant and c.456G>A (p.V152V) variant of unknown clinical significance in the KCTD7 gene were detected by exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger sequencing this individual and her similarly affected younger brother. The c.280C>T (p.R94W) likely pathogenic variant has been previously reported in the homozygous state in two apparently unrelated Turkish patients [PMID 22693283, 22606975]. The potential pathogenicity of the variant is also supported by a recent functional study [PMID 27742667]. The c.456G>A (p.V152V) variant was predicted to affect splicing by in silico modeling. This effect on splicing was confirmed by RNA sequencing which showed evidence of a novel splice donor site that prematurely terminates exon 3 of KCTD7 in patient samples. Splicing effect was also confirmed by Sanger sequencing of amplified cDNA corresponding to KCTD7 exons 2-4 which showed two discrete bands in patients compared to one band in unrelated controls [Zastrow et al., ASHG 2017]. Whole exome sequencing analysis and Sanger analysis showed that the father is heterozygous for c.280C>T (p.R94W) and the mother is heterozygous for c.456G>A (p.V152V), indicating the two variants are in trans in this individual and her brother. -

Aug 24, 2017

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the KCTD7 gene. The c.456 G>A variant hasnot been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. This variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Several in silico splice prediction models predict that c.456 G>A strengthens a cryptic splice donor site which may supplant the natural donor site and lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
