Genes affected
ABCA12 (HGNC:14637): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 12) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, and White). This encoded protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily, which is the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
SNHG31 (HGNC:54196): (small nucleolar RNA host gene 31)

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Immunofluorescent microscopy demonstrated a loss of ABCA12 expression in the epidermis of a patient with harlequin ichthyosis (PMID: 17684380); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22495968, 17684380, 31589614, 25525159, 19262603, 24274932, 28851938, 22992804, 29887490)

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2482*) in the ABCA12 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA12 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20672373). This variant is present in population databases (rs199503269, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital ichthyosis (PMID: 17684380, 28851938, 31168818). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 419453). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Foundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A homozygous nonsense variation in exon 51 of the ABCA12 gene that results in a stop codon and premature truncation of the protein at codon 2482 was detected. The observed variation has previously been reported in patients with Herlequin ichthyosis (PMID:17684380). The variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.02% in the 1000 genomes database. The reference region is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic.

Variant summary: ABCA12 c.7444C>T (p.Arg2482X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 250934 control chromosomes. c.7444C>T has been reported in the literature as a homozygous or compound heterozygous genotype in multiple individuals affected with features of Lamellar Ichthyosis/Harlequin Ichthyosis (example, Sakai_2009, Khalili_2019, Cho_2017, Kun-Darbois_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
