Genes affected

KNL1 (HGNC:24054): (kinetochore scaffold 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the multiprotein assembly that is required for creation of kinetochore-microtubule attachments and chromosome segregation. The encoded protein functions as a scaffold for proteins that influence the spindle assembly checkpoint during the eukaryotic cell cycle and it interacts with at least five different kinetochore proteins and two checkpoint kinases. In adults, this gene is predominantly expressed in normal testes, various cancer cell lines and primary tumors from other tissues and is ubiquitously expressed in fetal tissues. This gene was originally identified as a fusion partner with the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene in t(11;15)(q23;q14). Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive primary microcephaly-4 (MCPH4). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Additional splice variants have been described but their biological validity has not been confirmed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 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 15-40625447-C-CT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-40625447-C-CT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 217515.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.5262dup change is a previously unreported variant that results in a frameshift (p.Ile1755Tyrfs*2) and premature truncation of the protein encoded by this gene. The c.5262dupT is classified as pathogenic (PVS1 PS2). As a frameshift variant, it falls in the PVS1 category. Because of its de novo nature, it is also a category PS2 variant, fulfilling criteria for pathogenicity. -
