Genes affected

CERS3 (HGNC:23752): (ceramide synthase 3) This gene is a member of the ceramide synthase family of genes. The ceramide synthase enzymes regulate sphingolipid synthesis by catalyzing the formation of ceramides from sphingoid base and acyl-coA substrates. This family member is involved in the synthesis of ceramides with ultra-long-chain acyl moieties (ULC-Cers), important to the epidermis in its role in creating a protective barrier from the environment. The protein encoded by this gene has also been implicated in modification of the lipid structures required for spermatogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with male fertility defects, and epidermal defects, including ichthyosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.20946878).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000112 (17/152314) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.000409 (17/41562). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00026. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 7 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

The c.1027G>A (p.E343K) alteration is located in exon 13 (coding exon 10) of the CERS3 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1027, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 343 to be replaced by a lysine (K). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
