Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001184880.2(PCDH19):c.1059_1062del(p.Glu354LeufsTer13) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S353S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

PCDH19 (HGNC:14270): (protocadherin 19) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the delta-2 protocadherin subclass of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is thought to be a calcium-dependent cell-adhesion protein that is primarily expressed in the brain. Mutations in this gene on human chromosome X are associated with sporadic infantile epileptic encephalopathy and to a female-restricted form of epilepsy (EFMR; also known as PCDH19RE). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

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-100407535-GCTCA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-100407535-GCTCA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 206351.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant is denoted c.1059_1062delTGAG: p.Glu354LeufsX13 (p.E354LfsX13) in exon 1 of the PCDH19 gene (NM_001105243.1). The c.1059_1062delTGAG mutation in the PCDH19 gene causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamic acid 354, changes this amino acid to a Leucine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 13 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu354LeufsX13. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this mutation has not been previously reported to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with a diagnosis of epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females (EFMR). The variant is found in CHILD-EPI panel(s). -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in PCDH19 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21053371). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PCDH19-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206351). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu354Leufs*13) in the PCDH19 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
