Genes affected

GAN (HGNC:4137): (gigaxonin) This gene encodes a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is involved in mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of some proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.07190636 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.1, offset of -41, new splice context is: atgGTaact. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-81365479-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-81365479-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 465389.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
