Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the PSAP gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000002778.4. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Saposin-A and saposin-C stimulate the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide by beta-glucosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.45) and galactosylceramide by beta-galactosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.46). Saposin-C apparently acts by combining with the enzyme and acidic lipid to form an activated complex, rather than by solubilizing the substrate.; FUNCTION: Saposin-D is a specific sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activator (EC 3.1.4.12).; FUNCTION: Saposins are specific low-molecular mass non-enzymic proteins, they participate in the lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids, which takes place by the sequential action of specific hydrolases.;
Disease
DISEASE: Combined saposin deficiency (CSAPD) [MIM:611721]: Due to absence of all saposins, leading to a fatal storage disorder with hepatosplenomegaly and severe neurological involvement. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309366, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1371116}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Leukodystrophy metachromatic due to saposin-B deficiency (MLD-SAPB) [MIM:249900]: An atypical form of metachromatic leukodystrophy. It is characterized by tissue accumulation of cerebroside-3-sulfate, demyelination, periventricular white matter abnormalities, peripheral neuropathy. Additional neurological features include dysarthria, ataxic gait, psychomotor regression, seizures, cognitive decline and spastic quadriparesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10196694, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10682309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2019586, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2302219, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2320574}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Gaucher disease, atypical, due to saposin C deficiency (AGD) [MIM:610539]: A disease characterized by marked glucosylceramide accumulation in the spleen without having a deficiency of glucosylceramide-beta glucosidase characteristic of classic Gaucher disease. Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by skeletal deterioration, hepatosplenomegaly, and organ dysfunction. There are several subtypes based on the presence and severity of neurological involvement. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17919309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2060627}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Krabbe disease, atypical, due to saposin A deficiency (AKRD) [MIM:611722]: A disorder of galactosylceramide metabolism. Clinical features include neurologic regression around age 3 months, loss of spontaneous movements, hyporeflexia, generalized brain atrophy, and diffuse white matter dysmyelination. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15773042}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Note=Defects in PSAP saposin-D region are found in a variant of Tay-Sachs disease (GM2-gangliosidosis).;
