Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP6_ModerateBS2

The NM_004316.4(ASCL1):​c.172_186delCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG​(p.Gln58_Gln62del) variant causes a conservative inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0042 in 1,507,022 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★).

Genes affected
ASCL1 (HGNC:738): (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1) This gene encodes a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH) family of transcription factors. The protein activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Dimerization with other BHLH proteins is required for efficient DNA binding. This protein plays a role in the neuronal commitment and differentiation and in the generation of olfactory and autonomic neurons. Mutations in this gene may contribute to the congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) phenotype in rare cases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
PAH (HGNC:8582): (phenylalanine hydroxylase) This gene encodes a member of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase protein family. The encoded phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme hydroxylates phenylalanine to tyrosine and is the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The ASCL1 p.Gln58_Gln62del variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs3832799), ClinVar (classified as likely benign by PreventionGenetics and EGL Genetic Diagnostics), and LOVD 3.0 (classified as likely benign by VKGL-NL_Rotterdam and VKGL-NL_Groningen). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, or the Genome Aggregation Database (March 6, 2019, v2.1.1). This variant is an in-frame deletion resulting in the removal of a string of glutamine (gln) residues from codons 58-62; this deletion is found within a glutamine repeat region and is not expected to have a functional impact. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
