Genes affected
PIGN (HGNC:8967): (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class N) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor. Two alternatively spliced variants, which encode an identical isoform, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 565 of the PIGN protein (p.Arg565Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PIGN-related conditions (PMID: 32220244, 35322241; internal data). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 391067). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PIGN protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1694G>T (p.R565L) alteration is located in exon 19 (coding exon 16) of the PIGN gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1694, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 565 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (3/239518) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.006% (2/33600) of Latino alleles. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other PIGN variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with PIGN-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency (Brea-Fern&aacute;ndez, 2022; Sidpra, 2024; Vetri, 2024). Another alteration at the same codon, c.1694G>A (p.R565H), has been detected in an individual with clinical features consistent with PIGN-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency (Jiao, 2020). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
