Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 617894). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome (PMID: 30414627, 30450527). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs141659018, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg254*) in the POLR3A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLR3A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21855841, 25339210, 27612211, 30414627, 30450527).
