Genes affected
SPG11 (HGNC:11226): (SPG11 vesicle trafficking associated, spatacsin) The protein encoded by this gene is a potential transmembrane protein that is phosphorylated upon DNA damage. Defects in this gene are a cause of spastic paraplegia type 11 (SPG11). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 15 of the SPG11 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SPG11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19105190, 20110243, 22154821, 26556829). This variant is present in population databases (rs312262749, gnomAD 0.004%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 18717728; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41299). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20301389, 19105190, 27217339, 22154821, 26556829, 20110243, 18717728, 34983064)

The c.2834+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 15 of the SPG11 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.002% (5/251182) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.004% (5/113594) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in conjunction with other SPG11 variants in individuals with features consistent with SPG11-related spastic paraplegia; in at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Paisan-Ruiz, 2008; external communication). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
