Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PS1_Very_Strong PM1 PP2 PP3

The NM_006796.3(AFG3L2):​c.1961_1962delCTinsTC​(p.Thr654Ile) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T654N) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

AFG3L2 (HGNC:315): (AFG3 like matrix AAA peptidase subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein localized in mitochondria and closely related to paraplegin. The paraplegin gene is responsible for an autosomal recessive form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. This gene is a candidate gene for other hereditary spastic paraplegias or neurodegenerative disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TUBB6 (HGNC:20776): (tubulin beta 6 class V) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cell cycle. Located in microtubule. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

TUBB6 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• facial palsy, congenital, with ptosis and velopharyngeal dysfunction

  Inheritance: Unknown Classification: LIMITED Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)

LOC107985154 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_006796.3 (AFG3L2) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_006796.3
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 37 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 9 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.988 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.0639 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to spinocerebellar ataxia type 28, spastic ataxia 5, optic atrophy 12.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
