Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001378454.1(ALMS1):c.2038C>T(p.Arg680*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000806 in 1,613,788 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R680R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Alstrom syndrome    Pathogenic:3 
- -
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. -

not provided    Pathogenic:1 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); 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; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33924909, 26010121, 33410256, 35211159, 29715191) -
Cardiovascular phenotype    Pathogenic:1 
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; Klnç 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. -
