Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points: 23P and 0B. PS1 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000021.4(PSEN1):​c.436A>C​(p.Met146Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,824 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 (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M146I) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

PSEN1 (HGNC:9508): (presenilin 1) Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1; PSEN2) or in the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These disease-linked mutations result in increased production of the longer form of amyloid-beta (main component of amyloid deposits found in AD brains). Presenilins are postulated to regulate APP processing through their effects on gamma-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves APP. Also, it is thought that the presenilins are involved in the cleavage of the Notch receptor, such that they either directly regulate gamma-secretase activity or themselves are protease enzymes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene, the full-length nature of only some have been determined.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 23 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000021.4 (PSEN1) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in ClinVar.
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 6 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 11 uncertain in NM_000021.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr14-73173665-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 18137.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the PSEN1 gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 113 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 14 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 2.1558 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 3.0986 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Alzheimer disease 3, familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy 1U, acne inversa, familial, 3, Pick disease, behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia, semantic dementia, early-onset autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease, dilated cardiomyopathy.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.94
• PP5: Variant 14-73173663-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr14-73173663-A-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 18123.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
