Genes affected

SPAST (HGNC:11233): (spastin) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The use of alternative translational initiation sites in this gene results in a single transcript variant that can produce isoforms that differ in the length of their N-terminus and which thereby differ in the efficiency of their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode isoforms that differ in other protein regions as well. One isoform of this gene has been shown to be a microtubule-severing enzyme that regulates microtubule abundance, mobility, and plus-end distribution. Mutations in this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.42).
• BP6: Variant 2-32063850-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-32063850-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 392495.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.04 with no splicing effect.

The c.19 C>A variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The c.19 C>A variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. In-silico splice prediction models were uninformative as to whether c.19 C>A is expected to lead to abnormal gene splicing. Furthermore, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. In summary, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
