Description
The p.Ala307Ser (NM_207346.2 c.919G>T) variant in TSEN54 has been reported in gr eater than 30 homozygous or compound heterozygous individuals with pontocerebell ar hypoplasia and segregated in several affected family members (Budde 2008, Cas sandrini 2010, Graham 2010, Simonati 2011, Valayannopoulos 2012, Zafeiriou 2013, Sanchez-Albisua 2014, Battini 2014, Maras-Genc 2015, and Samanta 2016). This va riant has been identified in 69/33,364 of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggr egation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs113994152). Al though this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is lo w enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In summary, this v ariant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for pontocerebellar hypopla sia in an autosomal recessive manner based upon its biallelic occurrence in pati ents and segregation in affected family members.
