Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg681*) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Alstrom syndrome (PMID: 26010121, 29715191). This variant is also known as p.Arg679*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 937720). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R681* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2041C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the ALMS1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2041. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This variant (also referred to as p.R679*, c.2035C<T) has been detected in the homozygous state and the compound heterozygous state with other ALMS1 variants in several individuals reported to have Alstrom syndrome or related features (Xu Y et al. Clin Genet, 2016 Apr;89:442-447; Kln&ccedil; S et al. J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab, 2018 Jun;31:681-687; Baig S et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2020 06;15:139; Bettini S et al. Diagnostics (Basel), 2021 Apr;11). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
