Genes affected

ALS2 (HGNC:443): (alsin Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor ALS2) The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATS1/RCC1-like domain, a RhoGEF domain, and a vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain, all of which are guanine-nucleotide exchange factors that activate members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. The protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase RAB5. The protein localizes with RAB5 on early endosomal compartments, and functions as a modulator for endosomal dynamics. Mutations in this gene result in several forms of juvenile lateral sclerosis and infantile-onset ascending spastic paralysis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4382G>A (p.R1461Q) alteration is located in exon 28 (coding exon 27) of the ALS2 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4382, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1461 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 1461 of the ALS2 protein (p.Arg1461Gln). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and glutamine. This variant is present in population databases (rs758889641, ExAC 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with ALS2-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
