Genes affected

CTSA (HGNC:9251): (cathepsin A) This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S10 family of serine carboxypeptidases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate two chains that comprise the heterodimeric active enzyme. This enzyme possesses deamidase, esterase and carboxypeptidase activities and acts as a scaffold in the lysosomal multienzyme complex. Mutations in this gene are associated with galactosialidosis.

Benign, flagged submission	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Nov 22, 2017	Variant summary: The CTSA c.108_110delGCT (p.Leu37del) variant involves the deletion of a luecine in a string of 9 leucines. One in silico tool predicts a polymorphism outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 144801/230752 control chromosomes (43432 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.6275179, which is approximately 397 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CTSA variant (0.0015811), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. One case report cites the variant in a GSL patient, along with two other variants that have not been reported by other clinical labs, therefore it is unclear which variants are disease-causing. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 13, 2018	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
