Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS3 PM1 PM4 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_024306.5(FA2H):​c.159_176delGGCGGGCCAGGACATCAG​(p.Arg53_Ile58del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000793 in 1,386,604 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV004013876: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID:20104589)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R53R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

FA2H (HGNC:21197): (fatty acid 2-hydroxylase) This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the synthesis of 2-hydroxysphingolipids, a subset of sphingolipids that contain 2-hydroxy fatty acids. Sphingolipids play roles in many cellular processes and their structural diversity arises from modification of the hydrophobic ceramide moiety, such as by 2-hydroxylation of the N-acyl chain, and the existence of many different head groups. Mutations in this gene have been associated with leukodystrophy dysmyelinating with spastic paraparesis with or without dystonia.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV004013876: Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 20104589).; SCV005382297: Functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect suggesting loss of function (Dick et al., 2010).; SCV002586485: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect suggesting loss of function (PMID: 20104589); SCV003260346: Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects FA2H function (PMID: 20104589).
• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 6 uncertain in NM_024306.5
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_024306.5.
• PP5: Variant 16-74774579-GCTGATGTCCTGGCCCGCC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-74774579-GCTGATGTCCTGGCCCGCC-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 30871.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
