Gene summary

Spectrins are a family of filamentous cytoskeletal proteins that function as essential scaffold proteins that stabilize the plasma membrane and organize intracellular organelles. Spectrins are composed of alpha and beta dimers that associate to form tetramers linked in a head-to-head arrangement. This gene encodes an alpha spectrin that is specifically expressed in nonerythrocytic cells. The encoded protein has been implicated in other cellular functions including DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. Mutations in this gene are the cause of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy-5. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010]

**Note: In September 2021, the ClinGen Epilepsy GCEP opted to change the disease term on this curation from early-onset epileptic encephalopathy to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The original evidence and conclusion remains the same; therefore, the original date of approval has not been changed. **

Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 5; Developmental delay with or without epilepsy; Neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, 11, autosomal dominant; Spastic paraplegia 91, autosomal dominant, with or without cerebellar ataxiaAD

Manifestation: Neurologic

Intervention: General

Rationale: Genetic knowledge may be beneficial related to issues such as selection of optimal supportive care, informed medical decision-making, prognostic considerations, and avoidance of unnecessary testing

Comments: As with other conditions involving seizures, optimal seizure control is beneficial, and awareness of genetic causes may help with medication selection

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_001130438.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
