Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_022081.6(HPS4):c.1891C>T(p.Gln631*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,796 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).
HPS4 (HGNC:15844): (HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein component of biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complexes (BLOC). BLOC complexes are important for the formation of endosomal-lysosomal organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in this gene result in subtype 4 of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a form of albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.
PVS1
Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.111 CDS is truncated, and there are 1 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 22-26457923-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-26457923-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4125.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr22-26457923-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4125). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (PMID: 11836498). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln631*) in the HPS4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HPS4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12664304). -
