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.

The p.Tyr680Cys (also referred to as p.Tyr678Cys) variant in the ALMS1 gene has been previously reported in 2 unrelated individuals, 1 individual was heterozygous without a second variant identified, and 1 individual was compound heterozygous but had a phenotype inconsistent with Alstrom syndrome (Campbell et al., 2018; Celestino-Soper et al., 2015). This variant has also been identified in 76/30,598 South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This allele frequency is greater than would be expected to be disease-causing for Alstrom syndrome. Previously reported disease-causing variants in ALMS1 have been primarily truncating variants, whereas this variant results in a single amino acid substitution. The significance of this type of variation in the ALMS1 gene is currently unclear. Computational tools predict that the p.Tyr680Cys variant does not impact protein function; however, the accuracy of in silico algorithms is limited. These data were assessed using the ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines. In summary, the significance of the p.Tyr680Cys variant is uncertain. Additional information is needed to resolve the significance of this variant. [ACMG evidence codes used: BS1_supporting -

The ALMS1 c.2036A>G p.Tyr679Cys variant (rs199573929, ClinVar Variation ID:210126) is reported in the literature in one individual affected with dilated cardiomyopathy but without clear disease association (Burstein 2021). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.15% (423/280160 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.191). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: provider interpretation

Given its frequency in a large number of controls, no case data, and the autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of the associated disease, we consider this variant a variant of uncertain significance likely benign, and we do not feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). The variant has not been seen in any cases of atrial fibrillation or ALMS1-related disease. Testing for our patient was performed at Invitae. The ALMS1 gene is associated with autosomal recessive Alström syndrome. Alström syndrome includes cone-rod dystrophy, obesity, progressive sensorineural hearing impairment, dilated or restrictive cardiomyopathy, the insulin resistance syndrome, and multiple organ failure. Our patient was only found to have one variant in this gene and does not have a phenotype consistent with this condition. This sequence change replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 680 of the ALMS1 protein (p.Tyr680Cys). The tyrosine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical di erence between tyrosine and cysteine. Algorithms developed to predict the e ect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant is present in 422 of 140,893 (MAF = 0.15%) total individuals in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Ashkenazi descent. Specifically, the variant is present in 292 of 63,046 European Non-Finnish individuals (MAF= 0.23%). -

Variant summary: ALMS1 c.2033A>G (p.Tyr678Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Alstrom syndrome repeat region (IPR040972) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0016 in 248830 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0025 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.12 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ALMS1 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (0.0022). c.2033A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy wuthout strong evidence for causality (Campbell_2018, Celestino-Soper2015, Fitzgerald_2015,Londin_2011). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29610177, 26636822, 25533962, 21943378). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 210126). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

p.Tyr680Cys in exon 8 of ALMS1: This variant is not expected to have clinical si gnificance because it has been identified in 0.25% (76/30778) South Asian and 0. 23% (293/125986) European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD , http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs199573929). Tyrosine (Tyr) at positi on 680 is not highly conserved in mammals and evolutionary distant species, with one mammal (golden hamster) carrying a cystine (Cys) at this position, supporti ng that this change at this position may be tolerated. Additional computational computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that this varia nt may not impact the protein. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1_P; BP4. -
