Description

The R221X nonsense variant in the DLL3 gene has been reported previously in association with spondylocostal dysostosis (Ottonello et al., 2014). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R221X variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Multiple nonsense and other loss of function variants have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with spondylocostal dysostosis (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this protein.

Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg221*) in the DLL3 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DLL3 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12746394). This variant is present in population databases (rs200275281, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with spondylocostal dysostosis (PMID: 31680349). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 391971). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
