Genes affected

SPTA1 (HGNC:11272): (spectrin alpha, erythrocytic 1) This gene encodes a member of a family of molecular scaffold proteins that link the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. The encoded protein is primarily composed of 22 spectrin repeats which are involved in dimer formation. It forms a component of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene result in a variety of hereditary red blood cell disorders, including elliptocytosis-2, pyropoikilocytosis, and spherocytosis, type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

This variant, also referred to as alpha I-65, is enriched in individuals with hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) as compared to the general population (PMID: 8857939, 2567189, 30393954, 32623341). The clinical presentation of HE in individuals who have this variant in the heterozygous sate is typically characterized by mild hemolytic anemia and abnormally-shaped red blood cells. The clinical presentation is more severe when this variant is compound heterozygous with a pathogenic SPTA1 variant. This variant has also been reported to be a modifier of sickle cell anemia (PMID: 2567189, 30393954, 32623341). The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative but consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org).This observation is not an independent occurrence and has been identified in the same individual by RCIGM, the other laboratory participating in the GEMINI study. -

The SPTA1 c.460_462dup, p.Leu155dup variant (rs757679761), also known as alpha(I-65), is reported in the literature multiple related and unrelated individuals and families, primarily of African descent, affected with hereditary elliptocytosis, although with variable clinical severity (del Giudice et al., 1992; Garbarz et al., 1986; Marchesi et al., 1987; Niss et al., 2016; Qualtieri et al., 1995; Roux et al., 1989; Sahr et al., 1989). This variant has also been reported in trans (on opposite chromosomes) from the alpha-LELY allele in two individuals affected with hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (Niss et al., 2016). In vitro functional analyses demonstrate impaired SPTA1 oligomer formation (Marchesi et al., 1987). This variant is reported as likely pathogenic by one laboratory in ClinVar (Variation ID: 12847). This variant is found predominantly in the African population with an overall allele frequency of 0.095% (23/24192 alleles, including no homozygotes) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant inserts a single leucine residue leaving the rest of the protein in-frame. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.460_462dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the SPTA1 protein (p.Leu155dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs757679761, gnomAD 0.09%). This variant has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant hereditary elliptocytosis and autosomal recessive hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (PMID: 1642244, 2567189, 2794061, 3922449, 8790144, 8857939, 30393954). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as dupL154 and duplication of codon 154. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12847). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects SPTA1 function (PMID: 3922449). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Published functional studies on red blood cells extracted from patients with hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) who harbor the c.460_462dupTTG variant, show increased spectrum dimers as compared to wild type red blood cells, suggesting the variant causes a structural defect in the spectrin molecule affecting tetramer formation (PMID: 4027386); In-frame duplication of 1 amino acid in a non-repeat region; Also known as alpha I-65 or L148dup; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 2567189, 3597773, 2794061, 1353056, 27667160, 8857939, 30393954, 31040790, 34426522, 31589614, 32623341, 34889366, 34553410, 33074480, 34201899, 37016817, 4027386) -

Variant summary: SPTA1 c.460_462dupTTG (p.Leu155dup) results in an in-frame duplication that is predicted to duplicate 1 amino acid into the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 249160 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0011 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.460_462dupTTG (also described as Sp alpha[I/65] and as dupL154) has been reported in the literature in multiple heterozygous individuals, particularly of African descent, affected with hereditary elliptocytosis (e.g. Lawler_1985, Marchesi_1987, Roux_1989, Glele-Kakai_1996, Niss_2016) and in some compound heterozygous individuals affected with hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (e.g. Niss_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence revealed a decrease of the alpha l domain of spectrin and presence of an atypical peptide and also, impaired ability to undergo self association to form tetramers and higher oligomers (Lawler_1985, Marchesi_1987). Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
