Genes affected
SON (HGNC:11183): (SON DNA and RNA binding protein) This gene encodes a protein that contains multiple simple repeats. The encoded protein binds RNA and promotes pre-mRNA splicing, particularly of transcripts with poor splice sites. The protein also recognizes a specific DNA sequence found in the human hepatitis B virus (HBV) and represses HBV core promoter activity. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardMay 02, 2023The heterozygous p.Val1918GlufsTer87 variant in SON was identified by our study in one individual with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Trio exome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. The p.Val1918GlufsTer87 variant in SON has been previously reported in 12 unrelated individuals with ZTTK syndrome (PMID: 34521999, PMID: 27256762, PMID: 27545680, PMID: 27545676) and was found to be de novo in these individuals with confirmed paternity and maternity. The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 252929) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple submitters. This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1918 and leads to a premature termination codon 87 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the SON gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant ZTTK syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant ZTTK syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS2_VeryStrong, PS4, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBreda Genetics srlSep 15, 2022The variant in c.5753_5756del (p.Val1918Glufs*87) in SON gene is reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic for ZTTK syndrome in ClinVar (Variation ID: 252929) and pathogenic in the LOVD database v.3.0. The variant creates a shift in the reading frame which is predicted to result in a premature stop codon 87 amino acids downstream. It is likely to result in a truncated protein or protein loss due to nonsense-mediated messenger decay (NMD). There is no information on frequency in gnomAD or 1000 Genomes Project. The variant has not been identified in the parents, therefore, it can be concluded that the variant is de novo. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterMar 01, 2021The de novo heterozygous four base-pair deletion c.5753_5756del (p.Val1918GlufsTer87) identified in exon 3 (of 12) of the SON gene alters the wild-type translational reading frame and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been previously reported in patients affected with ZTTK syndrome [PMID: 27545676; PMID: 27545680]. The variant has been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar database by multiple independent laboratories [Variation ID:252929]. The variant is absent from the gnomAD database suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in the that database. Based on the available evidence, the de novo heterozygous c.5753_5756del (p.Val1918GlufsTer87) variant identified the SON gene is reported as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 16, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val1918Glufs*87) in the SON gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SON are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27545676, 27545680). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Zhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim syndrome (PMID: 27545676, 27545680). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252929). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 22, 2021The c.5753_5756delTTAG (p.V1918Efs*87) alteration, located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the SON gene, consists of a deletion of 4 nucleotides from position 5753 to 5756, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 87 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been reported as a de novo occurrence in multiple affected individuals (Zhu, 2015; Kim, 2016; Takenouchi, 2016; Tokita, 2016; Ambry internal data). Real-time qPCR showed significantly decreased levels of SON mRNA transcripts in peripheral blood from two individuals harboring this variant, as compared to unaffected individuals negative for the variant (Kim, 2016). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
