Genes affected
SAMHD1 (HGNC:15925): (SAM and HD domain containing deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase 1) This gene may play a role in regulation of the innate immune response. The encoded protein is upregulated in response to viral infection and may be involved in mediation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha proinflammatory responses. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in an in-frame loss of the adjacent exon in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Published functional studies demonstrate skipping of exon 13 and degradation of the SAMHD1 protein in cell lysates from an affected individual (PMID: 21402907); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21633013, 31028937, 19525956, 28289923, 22461318, 34852373, 20301648, 21402907, 27943079)

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 12 of the SAMHD1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs515726141, gnomAD 0.0009%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cerebral vasculopathy and early onset of stroke (PMID: 21402907). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126407). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 13, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 21402907). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The SAMHD1 c.1411-2A>G variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state to be causative for autosomal recessive Aicardi-Goutiѐres syndrome (Xin et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21402907, Crow. 2016. PubMed ID: 20301648). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in SAMHD1 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
