Genes affected

CTSC (HGNC:2528): (cathepsin C) This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C1 family and lysosomal cysteine proteinase that appears to be a central coordinator for activation of many serine proteinases in cells of the immune system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate heavy and light chains that form a disulfide-linked dimer. A portion of the propeptide acts as an intramolecular chaperone for the folding and stabilization of the mature enzyme. This enzyme requires chloride ions for activity and can degrade glucagon. Defects in the encoded protein have been shown to be a cause of Papillon-Lefevre syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by palmoplantar keratosis and periodontitis.

The c.1344_1345delTG variant in the CTSC gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.1344_1345delTG variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Alanine 449, changes this amino acid to a Asparagine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 2 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ala449AsnfsX2. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. The c.1344_1345delTG variant was not observed at any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry by the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. We interpret c.1344_1345delTG as a variant of uncertain significance. -
