Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000382.3(ALDH3A2):​c.25_50delCGACAGGCGTTCCTGTCCGGCCGGTC​(p.Arg9AlafsTer36) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000315 in 1,586,004 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R9R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
ALDH3A2 (HGNC:403): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A2) Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This gene product catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acid. Mutations in the gene cause Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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

Variant summary: ALDH3A2 c.25_50del26 (p.Arg9AlafsX36) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 194754 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.25_50del26 has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (Willemsen_2001, Sanders_2008, Kariminejad_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Sanders_2008 reports this variant has an impact on protein function and results in decreasing activity from patients fibroblast cells. Three ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg9Alafs*36) in the ALDH3A2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALDH3A2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10577908, 10854114). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (PMID: 11408337, 29183715). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.21-46del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371103). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
