Pili torti-deafness syndrome Pathogenic:3

This sequence change creates a premature termination codon at position 291 in exon 7 (of 9) of BCS1L, p.(Arg291*). It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product in a gene where loss of function is an established mechanism of disease. The variant is present in a large population cohort at a frequency of 0.003%, which is consistent with a recessive condition (rs201454788, 8/282,138 alleles, 0 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1). The variant has been identified compound heterozygous with a second allele in a case diagnosed with Bjornstad syndrome (PMID: 17314340). Additionally, the variant demonstrates attenuated growth in a yeast complementation assay (PMID: 17314340). Based on the classification scheme RMH ACMG Guidelines v1.2.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1, PM2, PS3_Supporting. -
Variant summary: BCS1L c.871C>T (p.Arg291X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 250748 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.871C>T has been reported in the literature in a compound heterozygote individual affected with Bjornstad syndrome (Hinson_2007). The authors of this study also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, demonstrating in a yeast complementation assay that the mutant protein failed to rescue growth on a medium that requires an active respiratory-chain. They also showed decreased electron-transport activities with increased production of reactive oxygen species in lymphocytes acquired from patients with Bjornstad syndrome and complex III deficiency (however, no patient specific data were provided, Hinson_2007). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=1), likely pathogenic (n=1) and pathogenic (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:2
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; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect as this variant results in mitochondrial dysfunction with reduced electron transport chain activity (Hinson et al., 2007); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25525159, 29704315, 25914718, 17314340) -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg291*) in the BCS1L gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BCS1L are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12215968, 17314340, 19162478, 19508421, 22277166, 25895478). This variant is present in population databases (rs201454788, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Bjornstad syndrome (PMID: 17314340). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 214162). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
