Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000346.4(SOX9):c.1320C>A(p.Tyr440*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y440Y) has been classified as Likely benign.

Camptomelic dysplasia    Pathogenic:1Other:1 
This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with campomelic dysplasia (PMID: 8001137, 9002675, 9452058; Invitae). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21163). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr440*) in the SOX9 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 70 amino acid(s) of the SOX9 protein. -

The Y440X pathogenic variant in the SOX9 gene has been reported previously as a confirmed or assumed de novo change in individuals with campomelic dysplasia with or without sex reversal (Wagner et al., 1994; Meyer et al., 1997; Hageman et al., 1998; Pop et al., 2005). Y440X was observed in a single patient in the homozygous state, which was though to be due to a mitotic gene conversion event (Pop et al., 2005). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function throuh protein truncation; however, functional studies show that Y440X allows for some residual activity of the SOX9 protein (Meyer et al., 1997). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The Y440X variant was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. We interpret Y440X as a pathogenic variant. -
