Genes affected

PNPLA1 (HGNC:21246): (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 1) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the patatin-like phospholipase (PNPLA) family, which is characterized by the presence of a highly conserved patatin domain. PNPLA family members have diverse lipolytic and acyltransferase activities, and are key elements in lipid metabolism. While other members of this family have been well characterized, the function of this gene remained an enigma. However, recent studies show that this gene is expressed in the skin epidermal keratinocytes, and has a role in glycerophospholipid metabolism in the cutaneous barrier. Consistent with these observations, mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis in human (autosomal recessive congenital ichthyoses, ARCI) and dog. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PNPLA1 c.205+5G>A alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. One publication reported whole transcriptome analysis from a skin biopsy sample of a homozygous patient, and found the was absence of PNPLA1 transcript as compared to age- and sex-matched controls, suggesting that the absence of transcript could be caused by nonsense mediated decay (NMD) or other mechanisms leading to transcript instability (Youssefian_2019). The variant was absent in 151370 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.205+5G>A has been reported in the literature in a homozygous individual affected with Lamellar Ichthyosis (Youssefian_2019, Uitto_2020, Youssefian_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30578701, 32147742, 33969388). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 633800). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
