Genes affected

DGAT1 (HGNC:2843): (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1) This gene encodes an multipass transmembrane protein that functions as a key metabolic enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA to triacylglycerol. This enzyme can also transfer acyl CoA to retinol. Activity of this protein may be associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.051124744 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.8, offset of 23, new splice context is: gagGTgcgg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-144318093-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-144318093-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2837131.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 8, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 23114594). Experimental studies have shown that disruption of this splice site affects DGAT1 function (PMID: 23114594). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with congenital chronic diarrhea (PMID: 23114594, 26883093). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 8 of the DGAT1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. -
