Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000049.4(ASPA):​c.10delTinsGG​(p.Cys4GlyfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift, missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in Lovd. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C4R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

ASPA (HGNC:756): (aspartoacylase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SPATA22 (HGNC:30705): (spermatogenesis associated 22) Predicted to be involved in regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including fertilization; gamete generation; and meiosis I cell cycle process. Predicted to be located in chromosome.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 66 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PS1: Transcript NM_000049.4 (ASPA) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in Lovd
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-3476169-T-GG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-3476169-T-GG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2854616.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is also known as [10T>G; 11insG]. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys4Valfs*5) in the ASPA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ASPA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12638939). Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Canavan disease (PMID: 12638939). -
