Genes affected

SPTLC2 (HGNC:11278): (serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 2) This gene encodes a long chain base subunit of serine palmitoyltransferase. Serine palmitoyltransferase, which consists of two different subunits, is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. It catalyzes the pyridoxal-5-prime-phosphate-dependent condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to 3-oxosphinganine. Mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hereditary sensory neuropathy type I. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SPTLC2 gene. The T409M variant has been reported as a pathogenic variant; however no additional information was provided (Astudillo et al.; Duan et al., 2015). Functions studies suggested that the T409M variant does not appear to be associated with HSAN1 and that it may be a benign variant (Bode et al., 2016). It was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The T409M variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 409 of the SPTLC2 protein (p.Thr409Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs368357970, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 36966328). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373497). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SPTLC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect SPTLC2 function (PMID: 26681808). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
