Description
The I107T variant in the DCX gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The I107T 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. The I107T variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Missense variants in nearby residues (R102C, R102S, I104T, Y105C) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with DCX-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importance of this region of the protein. We interpret I107T as a variant of uncertain significance.
