Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong

The NM_000049.4(ASPA):​c.170C>T​(p.Ala57Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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 Uncertain significance (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A57T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ASPA (HGNC:756): (aspartoacylase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SPATA22 (HGNC:30705): (spermatogenesis associated 22) Predicted to be involved in regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including fertilization; gamete generation; and meiosis I cell cycle process. Predicted to be located in chromosome.

SPATA22 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• genetic infertility

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr17-3476328-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2736389.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 48 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.47868 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.2423 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Canavan disease, mild Canavan disease, severe Canavan disease.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.987
