Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 16 Pathogenic:9Uncertain:2
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant negative and loss of function are suggested mechanisms of disease in this gene and are associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 48 (MIM#618093) and spinocerebellar ataxia 16 (MIM#615768), respectively (PMID: 34565360). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. Monoallelic variants have been reported to result in SCA48, whereas biallelic variants have been associated with SCA16 (PMID: 34565360). However, it remains unclear why p.(Arg241Trp) and p.(Cys232Gly) have been associated with both phenotypes (PMID: 33417001). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. There is interfamilial and intrafamilial variability of both severity and features (PMID: 33417001). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from lysine to glutamine. (I) 0252 - This variant is homozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 (169 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). (SP) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and uninformative conservation. (I) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated CHIP domain (PDB). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported as compound heterozygous in at least five unrelated individuals with ataxia (VCGS, PMIDs: 28193273, 28444220, 29915382, 32367277, 34234304, 34663476). It has also been reported as VUS in ClinVar but without further curation information provided. (SP) 1209 - This variant has been shown to be both maternally and paternally inherited (biallelic) (by trio analysis).

Variant summary: STUB1 c.433A>C (p.Lys145Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the CHIP N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat domain (IPR041312) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00053 in 1460224 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in STUB1 causing Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia 16, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.433A>C has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous individuals affected with Autosomal Recessive Spinocerebellar Ataxia 16 (e.g. Depondt_2014, Hayer_2017, Coutelier_2017, Sun_2019, Chiu_2020, Ravel_2021, Cheng_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Pakdaman_2017, Kanack_2018). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34663476, 32367277, 28444220, 24719489, 28193273, 29317501, 28396517, 33417001, 29915382). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212325). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This STUB1 variant (rs146251364) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD 171/280402 total alleles; 0.06%; 1 homozygote) and has been reported in ClinVar. This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 16 (SCAR16) and has been observed to segregate with disease in families. In vitro studies using transfected cells have shown that this missense change has a moderate effect on STUB1 function. However, functional analysis in cortical neurons derived from patient fibroblasts containing c.433A>C (p.Lys145Gln) and c.728C>T (p.Pro243Leu) in the compound heterozygote state demonstrated reduced STUB1/CHIP protein levels. Bioinformatic analysis predicts that this missense variant would not affect normal exon 3 splicing, although this has not been confirmed experimentally to our knowledge. We consider c.433A>C (p.Lys145Gln) to be likely pathogenic for SCAR16. -
The observed missense variant c.433A>C(p.Lys145Gln) in STUB1 gene has been reported previously in homozygous state in individuals with clinical features of autosomal recessive Spinocerebellar ataxia (Ravel JM, et al., 2021, Schuster S, et al., 2020). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect STUB1 function (Kanack AJ, et al., 2018). The c.433A>C variant has 0.01% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic/ Uncertain Significance. The amino acid Lysine at position 145 is changed to a Glutamine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen, SIFT and Mutation Taster) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The amino acid change p.Lys145Gln in STUB1 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. In the absence of another reportable variant, the molecular diagnosis is not confirmed. -

Published functional studies demonstrate only a mild functional effect (PMID: 29317501, 28396517); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25363768, 24719489, 28396517, 34426522, 34011629, 34445196, 34234304, 28193273, 33417001, 29317501, 34758253, 34663476, 32367277, 29915382, 33097556, 36853170, 28444220) -
This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 145 of the STUB1 protein (p.Lys145Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs146251364, gnomAD 0.1%), including at least one homozygous and/or hemizygous individual. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia (PMID: 24719489, 28193272, 28193273, 28444220, 29915382, 32367277, 33417001, 34663476). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212325). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt STUB1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect STUB1 function (PMID: 28396517, 29317501). 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. -

The c.433A>C (p.K145Q) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the STUB1 gene. This alteration results from a A to C substitution at nucleotide position 433, causing the lysine (K) at amino acid position 145 to be replaced by a glutamine (Q). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with features of STUB1-related spinocerebellar ataxia (Benkirane, 2021; Coutelier, 2017; Sun, 2019). Functional analysis demonstrated reduced CHIP protein levels in cortical neurons derived from patient fibroblasts containing c.433A>C (p.K145Q) and c.728C>T (p.P243L) in the compound heterozygote state (Schuster, 2020). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
