Genes affected

ASPA (HGNC:756): (aspartoacylase) This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of N-acetyl_L-aspartic acid (NAA) to aspartate and acetate. NAA is abundant in the brain where hydrolysis by aspartoacylase is thought to help maintain white matter. This protein is an NAA scavenger in other tissues. Mutations in this gene cause Canavan disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SPATA22 (HGNC:30705): (spermatogenesis associated 22) Predicted to be involved in regulation of meiotic cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including fertilization; gamete generation; and meiosis I cell cycle process. Predicted to be located in chromosome.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 158 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-3476169-T-GG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-3476169-T-GG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2854616.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This variant is also known as [10T>G; 11insG]. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Canavan disease (PMID: 12638939). Information on the frequency of this variant in the gnomAD database is not available, as this variant may be reported differently in the database. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys4Valfs*5) in the ASPA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ASPA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12638939). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
