Genes affected

PNKP (HGNC:9154): (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase) This locus represents a gene involved in DNA repair. In response to ionizing radiation or oxidative damage, the protein encoded by this locus catalyzes 5' phosphorylation and 3' dephosphorylation of nucleic acids. Mutations at this locus have been associated with microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.603dupT (p.K202*) alteration, located in exon 6 (coding exon 5) of the PNKP gene, consists of a duplication of T at position 603. This changes the amino acid from a lysine (K) to a stop codon at amino acid position 202. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the TT allele has an overall frequency of 0.003% (8/251436) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.033% (2/6136) of Other alleles. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys202*) in the PNKP gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PNKP are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20118933, 25728773). This variant is present in population databases (rs796052859, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PNKP-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206424). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
