Genes affected

CTC1 (HGNC:26169): (CST telomere replication complex component 1) This gene encodes a component of the CST complex. This complex plays an essential role in protecting telomeres from degradation. This protein also forms a heterodimer with the CST complex subunit STN1 to form the enzyme alpha accessory factor. This enzyme regulates DNA replication. Mutations in this gene are the cause of cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants.

PFAS (HGNC:8863): (phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase) Purines are necessary for many cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and energy metabolism. Ten enzymatic steps are required to synthesize inosine monophosphate (IMP) in the de novo pathway of purine biosynthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the fourth step of IMP biosynthesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 955721). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CTC1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 1 of the CTC1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CTC1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
