Genes affected

PAX3 (HGNC:8617): (paired box 3) This gene is a member of the paired box (PAX) family of transcription factors. Members of the PAX family typically contain a paired box domain and a paired-type homeodomain. These genes play critical roles during fetal development. Mutations in paired box gene 3 are associated with Waardenburg syndrome, craniofacial-deafness-hand syndrome, and alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The translocation t(2;13)(q35;q14), which represents a fusion between PAX3 and the forkhead gene, is a frequent finding in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Alternative splicing results in transcripts encoding isoforms with different C-termini. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 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 2-222232086-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-222232086-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 280007.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-222232086-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg262*) in the PAX3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PAX3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20127975, 23512835). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Waardenburg syndrome (PMID: 23512835, 27759048). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 280007). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
