The observed frameshift, splice region variant c.798+1del in ALDH3A2 gene has been reported previously in homozygous and compound heterozgous state in multiple individuals with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome (Rizzo WB, et al., 1999, Cho KH, et al., 2018). Experimental studies have shown that the disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (Rizzo WB, et al., 1999). The c.798+1del variant has 0.001% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes.This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. The variant is predicted to be damaging by SpliceAI Prediction. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: ALDH3A2 c.798+1delG is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site, while another predicts the weakening of a 5' donor site. These predictions are supported by RT-PCR assays that revealed aberrant splicing in a homozygous patient's fibroblasts and FALDH enzyme activity assays showing activity levels of <10% of controls (Rizzo_1999, Rizzo_2010). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.9e-06 in 112548 control chromosomes (ExAC). The variant, c.798+1delG, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (Rizzo_1999, Rizzo_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371195). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (PMID: 10577908, 30157790). This variant is present in population databases (rs757359379, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change affects a splice site in intron 5 of the ALDH3A2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in ALDH3A2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10577908, 10854114). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (PMID: 10577908). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
