Genes affected
SPG7 (HGNC:11237): (SPG7 matrix AAA peptidase subunit, paraplegin) This gene encodes a mitochondrial metalloprotease protein that is a member of the AAA family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 7. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.009461194).
BP6
Variant 16-89546665-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-89546665-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 139241.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00537 (816/152030) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.00979 (665/67914). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00918. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 360 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AD,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
