Genes affected
SPTA1 (HGNC:11272): (spectrin alpha, erythrocytic 1) This gene encodes a member of a family of molecular scaffold proteins that link the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. The encoded protein is primarily composed of 22 spectrin repeats which are involved in dimer formation. It forms a component of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene result in a variety of hereditary red blood cell disorders, including elliptocytosis-2, pyropoikilocytosis, and spherocytosis, type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Commonly referred to as the AlphaLELY allele when is cis with c.6531-12C>T, a low expression allele that results in partial skipping of exon 46 and expression of hereditary elliptocytosis when in trans with a pathogenic SPTA1 variant (Wilmotte et al., 1999); Observed with c.6531-12C>T multiple times with a variant on the opposite allele (in trans) in unrelated patients with hereditary pyropoikilocytosis or hereditary elliptocytosis in the published literature; is reported to result in more severe disease when in trans with a pathogenic variant (Niss et al., 2016; Ma et al., 2018; Aggarwal et al., 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32287101, 32581362, 31602632, 10192450)

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease.

c.5572C>G in SPTA1 (rs3737515) reaches polymorphic frequency (>1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v4.1.0: 436469/1609240 alleles; 27.1%, 60931 homozygotes) and has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 258948). Based on this population frequency alone, c.5572C>G is considered to be benign. c.5572C>G is known to co-occur with c.6531-12C>T on the same chromosome copy, and this complex allele is called the alpha LELY allele. Alpha LELY has been shown to result in partial skipping of exon 466 and has been reported in trans with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic SPTA1 variant in multiple patients with hereditary elliptocytosis and pyropoikilocytosis. Therefore, while we consider alpha LELY to be benign in the heterozygous state, its role as a modifier of SPTA1-related disorders when occurring in the compound heterozygous state with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic SPTA1 variant is not ruled out.
