Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_144991.3(TSPEAR):​c.1726_1728delGTCinsTT​(p.Val576LeufsTer38) variant causes a frameshift, synonymous change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. VK576L?) has been classified as Pathogenic. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

TSPEAR-AS1 (HGNC:1271): (TSPEAR antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 21-44509225-GAC-AA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr21-44509225-GAC-AA is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 584443.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val576Leufs*38) in the TSPEAR gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 94 amino acid(s) of the TSPEAR protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs782540538, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ectodermal dysplasia and/or tooth agenesis (PMID: 27736875, 30046887). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as c.1726G>T + c.1728del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37311). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Reported in the homozygous state and with a second variant in the TSPEAR gene in several unrelated patients with dental anomalies, scalp hypotrichosis, and dysmorphic facial features in the literature (PMID: 30046887, 34042254, 27736875); Published functional studies suggest a damaging effect by altering the protein localization and secretion (PMID: 22678063); Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 94 amino acids are replaced with 37 different amino acids, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22678063, 34042254, 27736875, 30046887) -
