Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_014946.4(SPAST):c.1495C>T(p.Arg499Cys) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 14/24 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R499H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 Pathogenic:7Other:1
Variant interpreted as Pathogenic and reported on 07-18-2019 by Lab or GTR ID 26957. Assertions are reported exactly as they appear on the patient provided laboratory report. GenomeConnect does not attempt to reinterpret the variant. The IDDRC-CTSA National Brain Gene Registry (BGR) is a study funded by the U.S. National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) and includes 13 Intellectual and Developmental Disability Research Center (IDDRC) institutions. The study is led by Principal Investigator John Constantino MD PhD from Washington University. The BGR is a data commons of gene variants paired with subject clinical information. This database helps scientists learn more about genetic changes and their impact on the brain and behavior. Participation in the Brain Gene Registry requires participation in GenomeConnect.

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. -
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 -

not provided Pathogenic:3
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) -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect on microtubule disassembly and ATPase activity (Errico et al., 2002; Evans et al., 2005); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29980238, 31751864, 15716377, 29934652, 30780198, 30476002, 31285604, 28191889, 34950521, Varghaei2021[pdf], 21139634, 26094131, 17957230, 18701882, 11809724, 11309678, 10610178) -
