Genes affected
SETX (HGNC:445): (senataxin) This gene encodes a protein named for its homology to the Sen1p protein of fungi which has RNA helicase activity encoded by a domain at the C-terminal end of the protein. The protein encoded by this gene contains a DNA/RNA helicase domain at its C-terminal end which suggests that it may be involved in both DNA and RNA processing. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia-2 (AOA2) and an autosomal dominant form of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS4). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: SETX c.3310C>G (p.Gln1104Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00033 in 1606974 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0059 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in SETX causing Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, with axonal neuropathy 2 phenotype (0.0012). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3310C>G in individuals affected with Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, with axonal neuropathy 2 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 365359). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease.
