Genes affected
PSAP (HGNC:9498): (prosaposin) This gene encodes a highly conserved preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate four main cleavage products including saposins A, B, C, and D. Each domain of the precursor protein is approximately 80 amino acid residues long with nearly identical placement of cysteine residues and glycosylation sites. Saposins A-D localize primarily to the lysosomal compartment where they facilitate the catabolism of glycosphingolipids with short oligosaccharide groups. The precursor protein exists both as a secretory protein and as an integral membrane protein and has neurotrophic activities. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Gaucher disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

Variant summary: PSAP c.1A>G (p.Met1Val) alters the initiation codon and is predicted to result either in absence of the protein or truncation of the encoded protein due to translation initiation at a downstream codon. An alternative downstream in-frame start codon (Met76) is located in the encoded protein. An activation of this potential downstream translation initiation site would result in a shortened protein missing the first 75 amino acids from the protein sequence, predicted to disrupt the N-terminal saposin A-type domain (IPR003119) of the encoded protein. 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 6.5e-06 in 154492 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1A>G has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in trans with a pathogenic variant in an individual affected with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and in a compound heterozygous individual affected with Gaucher Disease, type 3 (e.g. Deconinck_2008, Vaccaro_2010). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and found this variant and another start codon variant, p.Met1Leu, both affect protein expression in a manner consistent with a null allele (e.g. Vaccaro_2010). Futhermore, the p.Met1Leu start codon variant has also been reported in patients (e.g. Vaccaro_2010) and has been classified as pathogenic (ClinVar: 13365), suggesting that variants which affect the start codon of the PSAP gene are likely to be deleterious. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for the c.1A>G (p.Met1Val) variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Both classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, this variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the PSAP mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 76. This variant is present in population databases (rs121918106, gnomAD 0.006%). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with saposin C deficiency (PMID: 1371116, 17616409, 20484222). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 860182). Studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon alters PSAP gene expression (PMID: 20484222). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
