Genes affected

SACS (HGNC:10519): (sacsin molecular chaperone) This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that "the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins" (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Variant summary: SACS c.4076T>C (p.Met1359Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Two of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0021 in 282066 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. c.4076T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with adult-onset sporadic ataxia and four compound heterozygous siblings affected with a milder autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (Fogel_2012, Palmio_2016, Lipponen_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia Of Charlevoix-Saguenay. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 11 ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite this variant as uncertain significance (n=4), likely benign (n=6) and benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
