Genes affected
PLEKHG5 (HGNC:29105): (pleckstrin homology and RhoGEF domain containing G5) This gene encodes a protein that activates the nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB1) signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Variant summary: PLEKHG5 c.719A>G (p.Asp240Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00037 in 161514 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PLEKHG5 causing Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Autosomal Recessive 4 (0.00037 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.719A>G in individuals affected with Distal Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Autosomal Recessive 4 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198894). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.719A>G (p.D240G) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the PLEKHG5 gene. This alteration results from a A to G substitution at nucleotide position 719, causing the aspartic acid (D) at amino acid position 240 to be replaced by a glycine (G). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 240 of the PLEKHG5 protein (p.Asp240Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs199794578, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PLEKHG5-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 198894). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
