Genes affected

SPAST (HGNC:11233): (spastin) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The use of alternative translational initiation sites in this gene results in a single transcript variant that can produce isoforms that differ in the length of their N-terminus and which thereby differ in the efficiency of their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode isoforms that differ in other protein regions as well. One isoform of this gene has been shown to be a microtubule-severing enzyme that regulates microtubule abundance, mobility, and plus-end distribution. Mutations in this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Multiple missense variants at this codon, including at least one considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, have been reported in individuals with clinical features associated with this gene, suggesting this variant may also cause disease. Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Gly559 amino acid residue in SPAST. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11087788, 11843700, 15248095, 17598600, 20718791, 22960362). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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 expected to disrupt SPAST protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240952). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 22960362, 27688599). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 559 of the SPAST protein (p.Gly559Arg). -
