Genes affected

SURF1 (HGNC:11474): (SURF1 cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor) This gene encodes a protein localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The protein is a member of the SURF1 family, which includes the related yeast protein SHY1 and rickettsial protein RP733. The gene is located in the surfeit gene cluster, a group of very tightly linked genes that do not share sequence similarity, where it shares a bidirectional promoter with SURF2 on the opposite strand. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that is commonly associated with systemic cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

SURF2 (HGNC:11475): (surfeit 2) This gene shares a bidirectional promoter with surfeit 1 (SURF1; GeneID: 6834), which is located on the opposite strand. It encodes a conserved protein that is expressed in a variety of tissues. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Start lost variant, no new inframe start found.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 9-133356440-GCCACCGCCGCCATCGCACCCGGCC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-133356440-GCCACCGCCGCCATCGCACCCGGCC-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 215241.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon affects SURF1 function (PMID: 27756633). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 215241). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with Leigh syndrome (PMID: 27756633). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the SURF1 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 110. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.-11_c.13delGGCCGGGTGCGATGGCGGCGGTGG mutation in the SURF1 gene is predicted to result in the loss of the initiator Methionine codon. As this mutation results in the deletion of the translation initiator codon, it is predicted to prevent protein translation, or if translation proceeded with an alternate methionine, would lead to an abnormal protein product. Although this mutation has not been reported previously to our knowledge, it is expected to be a disease-causing mutation. The variant is found in MITO24 panel(s). -
