Genes affected

TSPEAR (HGNC:1268): (thrombospondin type laminin G domain and EAR repeats) This gene encodes a protein that contains a N-terminal thrombospondin-type laminin G domain and several tandem arranged epilepsy-associated repeats (EARs). A mutation in this gene is the cause of autosomal recessive deafness-98. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence variant is a single nucleotide substitution (G>A) at coding nucleotide 1915 in the TSPEAR gene which results in an aspartic acid to asparagine amino acid change at residue 639 in the TSPEAR protein. This is a previously reported variant (ClinVar) which has been reported with a second variant in compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals with ectodermal dysplasia with tooth agenesis (PMID: 34042254, 27736875). The variant is present in 594/263832 alleles, including 1 homozygote, in the gnomAD control population dataset. Multiple bioinformatic tools predict that this variant is likely to be damaging, and aspartic acid is highly conserved at this protein position in vertebrates. Functiol studies testing the effects of this variant have not been performed, to our knowledge. Based on the available evidence, we consider this variant to be likely pathogenic; however, based on the presence of a homozygous individual in a control dataset, it may represent an allele which requires a stronger loss of function allele on the opposite chromosome for disease phenotypes to manifest.

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as VUS-3A. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with tooth agenesis, selective, 10 (MIM#620173) and ectodermal dysplasia 14, hair/tooth type with or without hypohidrosis (MIM#618180). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from aspartic acid to asparagine. (I) 0252 - This variant is homozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (592 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). (SP) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0604 - Variant is not located in an established domain, motif, hotspot or informative constraint region. (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0802 - This variant has moderate previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as benign, likely benign, a VUS and pathogenic by clinical laboratories in ClinVar. The variant has also been observed as compound heterozygous or homozygous in eight families with hypodontia and ectodermal dysplasia in the literature, and was classified as a VUS or as likely pathogenic (PMID: 34042254, 27736875, 37009414). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
