The ENST00000468275(APTX):c.*30A>G variant causes a 3 prime UTR change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).
APTX (HGNC:15984): (aprataxin) This gene encodes a member of the histidine triad (HIT) superfamily. The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair through its nucleotide-binding activity and its diadenosine polyphosphate hydrolase activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

The observed invariant splice acceptor c.875-2A>G variant in APTX gene has been reported previously in compound heterozygous state in individual(s) affected with early-onset ataxia with oculomotor apraxia and hypoalbuminemia (Sun M, et al., 2019). The c.875-2A>G variant is absent in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. However, additional functional studies will be required to prove the pathogenicity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
