The known nonsense variant, c.414G>A (p.Trp138Ter) introduces a stop codon at position 138 leading to a truncated cystinosin protein. In affected individuals within the American population, this variant is relatively common (~10%) (Shotelersuk V et al., 1998; Town et al. 1998; McGowan-Jordan J et al.1999), indicating that the prevalence of this variant in affected individuals is significantly higher than in controls. Several loss-of-function pathogenic variants (nonsense, frameshift, splice-site) have been reported, including a nonsense variant further downstream in exon 11 (Kalatzis V and Antignac C, 2003), suggesting loss-of-function as a mechanism of disease. The variant is observed in population databases (ExAc, 1000 Genomes, ESP) a frequency below what is expected carrier rate based on disease prevalence. This substitution co-segregates with disease (Town et al. 1998, McGowan-Jordan J et al.1999). This variant has recently been classified as pathogenic by a reputable clinical laboratory (Emory). Therefore, this variant is best interpreted as a Pathogenic variant for nephropathic cystinosis. We have confirmed this finding in our laboratory using Sanger sequencing -
NM_004937.2(CTNS):c.414G>A(W138*) is classified as pathogenic in the context of cystinosis. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 9792862, 10482956 and 11855931. Classification of NM_004937.2(CTNS):c.414G>A(W138*) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and is reported in individuals with the relevant phenotype. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp138*) in the CTNS gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CTNS are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9537412, 27102039). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994205, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with cystinosis (PMID: 9537412, 9792862, 10482956). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4443). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
