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 disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DDC-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly146Lysfs*4) in the DDC gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DDC are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15079002, 24788355).
