chr2-73385903-T-TGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGA

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP3BP6

The NM_001378454.1(ALMS1):​c.51_74dupGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGAGGA​(p.Glu18_Glu25dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E25E) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

ALMS1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Jun 23, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The ALMS1 c.54_74dup21 variant is predicted to result in an in-frame duplication (p.Glu22_Glu28dup). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Alstrom syndrome Uncertain:1
Jun 04, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALMS1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.54_77dup, results in the insertion of 8 amino acid(s) of the ALMS1 protein (p.Glu22_Glu29dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The ALMS1 variant, c.54_74dup21 (p.Glu22_Glu28dup) is located in a Glu repetitive region (Glu13_Glu28). The variant was absent in 83366 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. No variants located in this Glu repetitive region were reported in HGMD database and other variants (including deletion and duplication) located in this repetitive region were reported in LOVD database and classified as likely benign/benign. In addition, other duplication variants (p.Glu26_Glu28dup, p.Glu23_Glu24dup, p.Glu24dup) located in this Glu repetitive region have been classified as benign by our laboratory. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.54_74dup21 in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
