Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_006796.3(AFG3L2):​c.1736C>A​(p.Ala579Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,676 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A579V) 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]

LOC107985154 (HGNC:):

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)

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_006796.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• 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 spastic ataxia 5, optic atrophy 12, spinocerebellar ataxia type 28.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.954
