Clinical Validity Scoring Notes and points

PMID: 26079385 (2015)

  • Triplet repeat expansion of CTG in exon 2 of JPH3. South African cohort referred for HD testing. 171 white and 130 black individuals. No white patients, but 15% of black patients (20/130) had an expansion in JPH3. 20*0.5=10 points

PMID: 11694876 (2001)

  • 9 affected, 3 unaffected segregations, eLOD 3.612, 2 POINTS

PMID: 22447335

  • More segregations - 7 affected (including 2 obligate carriers)

Seg total - 16 affected, 3 unaffected, eLOD 5.72, 3 points

There is also a mouse model, but I didn’t curate it as I reached 12 points (PMID: 16809425)

Short tandem repeat expansion: CTG repeat in exon 2 (coding region)

  • Normal: 6-26

  • Uncertain (not described, other than personal obs in GeneReviews PMID: 20301701): 27-39

  • Pathogenic: ≥40

  • CUTOFF: 27

PMID: 11694876, 11694876, 20301701

Review:

  • STRchive: Normal 6-28, Intermediate 29-39, Pathogenic 40-58

  • GeneReviews PMID: 20301701: Normal 6-28. Alleles of questionable significance 29-39 (mutable normal or reduced penetrance), note this is a personal observation from the GeneREviews author. Full penetrance: 40 or more. Reduced penetrance described.

  • STRipy: Normal: 6-27, Path ≥41

  • GnomAD: Normal ≤ 27, Pathogenic ≥ 41.

  • Mayo: none https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/189Ph82ZPDhHwgTtmmPpCItan8boniGIL/edit#gid=1020718149

  • PMID: 11694876 - Largest normal allele is 27. Smallest abnormal allele from affected - 41. But suggest expansions of “about 40 or more” cause HDL2.

  • PMID: 26079385 - Expansions in affected individuals ranged from 40-58 repeats. expanded alleles were found on haplotypes originating from African origins. For normal controls, allele sizes ranged from 6 to 26 repeats, with no alleles observed between 19 and 21 repeats in either population (black or white controls)

Severity

Expand
titleOptions

Embryonic lethal - presence of a pathogenic variant or variants is not compatible with life. The penetrance must be complete.
Severe - presence of a pathogenic variant or variant(s) results in significantly reduced fitness. The penetrance must be complete or high.
Moderate - significant morbidity or mortality due to clinical features, but fitness may not be reduced, or penetrance is reduced.
Mild - Presence of a variant or variant(s) is not associated with reduced fitness, no significant morbidity or mortality, and/or penetrance is low.
None - presence of a variant results in no phenotype. An example is recessive disorders in which no phenotype is reported in carriers.

- The @GENE@ is associated with @inheritance pattern@ @condition@, which is characterized by @clinical features@ (PMIDs).

- Variable expression or severity:
The severity and expressivity of the disorder is highly variable, even within families.
- If multiple conditions associated with the gene:
It has also been associated with @inheritance pattern@ @condition@, which is characterized by @clinical features@ (PMIDs).

- Limited evidence gene: The PCNA gene has been reported in individuals with early onset autosomal recessive ataxia (PMID: 33426167, 24911150), however, evidence supporting this gene-dIsease relationship is limited

The JPH3 gene is associated with autosomal dominant Huntington-disease like 2, which is caused by an expansion of a CTG repeat within the coding region of the gene. The disease is characterized by movement, emotional and cognitive abnormalities. Movement features include chorea, abnormal gait, oculomotor abnormalities, dysarthria, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Psychiatric disturbances include personality changes and depression, and cognitive abnormalities include progressive dementia. Brain MRI displays atrophy of the cuadate and cerebral cortex. Age of onset is typically in adulthood, with an average age of 41 years. There is an inverse correlation with age of onset and the length of the CTG short tandem repeat (PMID: 11694876, 11694876, 20301701, 26079385).
