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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 499 of the SPAST protein (p.Arg499Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) (PMID: 10610178, 11309678, 12161613, 16055926, 17594340, 17957230, 19438933, 20718791, 25658484, 26208798, 27334366). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 1620C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5660). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SPAST function (PMID: 15716377). This variant disrupts the p.Arg499 amino acid residue in SPAST. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16009769, 16682546, 18701882, 20562464). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are known mechanisms of disease for this gene and are associated with spastic paraplegia 4 (MIM#182601). Multiple loss of function variants have been reported, while a dominant negative mechanism has been stipulated for a small number of missense variants (ClinVar; PMID: 30006150). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance, but this is age-dependent and only a small proportion of individuals remain asymptomatic (PMID: 30476002). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity, with variable age of onset and disease severity (PMID: 30476002). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0603 - Missense variant in a region that is highly intolerant to missense variation (high constraint region in DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported multiple times as pathogenic, and observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia, with an elevated risk of cognitive impairment (ClinVar, PMID: 29421991). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant was not reported in large, multi-ethnic, general populations. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) At least one other missense variant at this codon is considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, suggesting this variant may also cause disease. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 15716377) -
