Genes affected

SPAST (HGNC:11233): (spastin) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The use of alternative translational initiation sites in this gene results in a single transcript variant that can produce isoforms that differ in the length of their N-terminus and which thereby differ in the efficiency of their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode isoforms that differ in other protein regions as well. One isoform of this gene has been shown to be a microtubule-severing enzyme that regulates microtubule abundance, mobility, and plus-end distribution. Mutations in this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

SPAST (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 9.8, offset of -49, new splice context is: cctgtcatttgctgtttcAGctt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-32141902-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-32141902-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 569227.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20932283). Different variants affecting this nucleotide (c.1494-2delA and c.1494-2A>C) has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11985387, 11309678). This suggests that this nucleotide is important for normal RNA splicing, and that other variants at this position may also be pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with autosomal dominant hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 20932283). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 12 of the SPAST gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
