Genes affected
GNE (HGNC:23657): (glucosamine (UDP-N-acetyl)-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase) The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that initiates and regulates the biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), a precursor of sialic acids. It is a rate-limiting enzyme in the sialic acid biosynthetic pathway. Sialic acid modification of cell surface molecules is crucial for their function in many biologic processes, including cell adhesion and signal transduction. Differential sialylation of cell surface molecules is also implicated in the tumorigenicity and metastatic behavior of malignant cells. Mutations in this gene are associated with sialuria, autosomal recessive inclusion body myopathy, and Nonaka myopathy. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
CLTA (HGNC:2090): (clathrin light chain A) Clathrin is a large, soluble protein composed of heavy and light chains. It functions as the main structural component of the lattice-type cytoplasmic face of coated pits and vesicles which entrap specific macromolecules during receptor-mediated endocytosis. This gene encodes one of two clathrin light chain proteins which are believed to function as regulatory elements. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 8 and 12. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr6*) in the GNE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in GNE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24027297). This variant is present in population databases (rs200763627, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with GNE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 583405). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: GNE c.18T>A (p.Tyr6X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0002 in 248350 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in GNE causing Inclusion Body Myopathy 2 (0.0002 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.18T>A has been observed in individuals affected with increased creatine kinase-MM or skeletal dysplasia and other skeletal disorders (Kucera_2024, MacCarrick_2024). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37864479, 38702915). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 583405). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
