Genes affected

BSCL2 (HGNC:15832): (BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin) This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Naturally occurring read-through transcription occurs between this locus and the neighboring locus HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

HNRNPUL2-BSCL2 (HGNC:49189): (HNRNPUL2-BSCL2 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2) and BSCL2 (Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy 2 (seipin)) genes on chromosome 11. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

BSCL2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.096472286 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.4, offset of 22, new splice context is: gatgctgcattaccgctcAGacc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-62692798-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-62692798-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 393432.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

ACMG Criteria:PVS1, PM2, PP3=Pathogenic; Jeninga et al 2011 JIMD reported a similar variant c.631-2A>C in homozygous state in a 7 yo boy with BSCL. RT-PCR showed loss of full length transcript and presenece of two aberrant transcript. Protein localized normally. Therefore, the c.631-1G>C variant would be consistent with a pathogenic vaiant for a recessive discorder and this patient would be a carrier. -
