Genes affected

TTR (HGNC:12405): (transthyretin) This gene encodes one of the three prealbumins, which include alpha-1-antitrypsin, transthyretin and orosomucoid. The encoded protein, transthyretin, is a homo-tetrameric carrier protein, which transports thyroid hormones in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is also involved in the transport of retinol (vitamin A) in the plasma by associating with retinol-binding protein. The protein may also be involved in other intracellular processes including proteolysis, nerve regeneration, autophagy and glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with amyloid deposition, predominantly affecting peripheral nerves or the heart, while a small percentage of the gene mutations are non-amyloidogenic. The mutations are implicated in the etiology of several diseases, including amyloidotic polyneuropathy, euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemia, amyloidotic vitreous opacities, cardiomyopathy, oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis, meningocerebrovascular amyloidosis and carpal tunnel syndrome.

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 14 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 9 uncertain in NM_000371.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr18-31592942-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3657392.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 108 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 3 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 1.0149 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 1.5458 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to familial amyloid neuropathy, amyloidosis, hereditary systemic 1, ATTRV122I amyloidosis, hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, heart conduction disease.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.941
• PP5: Variant 18-31592942-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-31592942-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 565560.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 39 of the TTR protein (p.Ala39Asp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR amyloidosis) (PMID: 22106346, 24358189, 26537620, 28494620). This variant is also known as Ala19Asp. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 565560). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TTR protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.A39D variant (also known as c.116C>A), located in coding exon 2 of the TTR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 116. The alanine at codon 39 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration, which is also known as p.A19D, has been reported in individuals with transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis who had neuropathy and cardiac involvement (Schönland SO et al. Blood, 2012 Jan;119:488-93; Ferreira P et al. PLoS ONE, 2013 Dec;8:e82484; Damy T et al. Eur Heart J, 2016 06;37:1826-34; Niemietz C et al. Amyloid, 2020 Mar;27:45-51). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
