Genes affected

GDF1 (HGNC:4214): (growth differentiation factor 1) This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. Studies in rodents suggest that this protein is involved in the establishment of left-right asymmetry in early embryogenesis and in neural development in later embryogenesis. The encoded protein is translated from a bicistronic mRNA that also encodes ceramide synthase 1. Mutations in this gene are associated with several congenital cardiovascular malformations.

CERS1 (HGNC:14253): (ceramide synthase 1) This gene encodes a ceramide synthase enzyme, which catalyzes the synthesis of ceramide, the hydrophobic moiety of sphingolipids. The encoded enzyme synthesizes 18-carbon (C18) ceramide in brain neurons. Elevated expression of this gene may be associated with increased longevity, while decreased expression of this gene may be associated with myoclonus epilepsy with dementia in human patients. This protein is transcribed from a monocistronic mRNA as well as a bicistronic mRNA, which also encodes growth differentiation factor 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Embryonic growth/differentiation factor 1 (size 118) in uniprot entity GDF1_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (80%) in NM_001492.6
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.963
• PP5: Variant 19-18868624-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-18868624-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1507891.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant disrupts the p.Met364 amino acid residue in GDF1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 28991257, 26633542). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt GDF1 protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with GDF1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine with isoleucine at codon 364 of the GDF1 protein (p.Met364Ile). The methionine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between methionine and isoleucine. -
