Genes affected

SLC38A8 (HGNC:32434): (solute carrier family 38 member 8) This gene encodes a putative sodium-dependent amino-acid/proton antiporter. The protein has eleven transmembrane domains, an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminal tail. The protein is a member of the SLC38 sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter family of proteins. Mutations in this gene result in foveal hypoplasia with or without optic nerve misrouting and/or anterior segment dysgenesis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1002delG (p.S336Afs*15) alteration, located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the SLC38A8 gene, consists of a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1002, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 15 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the c.1002delG allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (3/249754) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.011% (2/18368) of East Asian alleles. This variant has been reported to cosegregate with disease in a family with two siblings who are homozygous and have features consistent with SLC38A8-related foveal hypoplasia (Poulter, 2013). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser336Alafs*15) in the SLC38A8 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SLC38A8 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24290379). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777255, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with foveal hypoplasia (PMID: 24290379). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125444). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
