Genes affected

VAC14 (HGNC:25507): (VAC14 component of PIKFYVE complex) This gene encodes a scaffold protein that is a component of the PIKfyve protein kinase complex. This complex is responsible for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, an important component of cellular membranes, from phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit severe neurodegeneration. Mutations in the human gene have been identified in patients with a childhood onset progressive neurological disorder characterized by impaired movement, dystonia, and striatal abnormalities.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.8, offset of -40, new splice context is: cagGTgccc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-70744422-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-70744422-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 253141.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
