SETX: PM2 -
Previously reported as a variant of uncertain significance in both individuals with ALS, and in controls (PMID: 32397312, 23881933, 36515702); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23881933, 36515702, 32397312) -

The SETX c.654G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys218Asn. This variant was reported in two studies of an ALS case-control analysis; however, no clinical or functional information was provided (Table S2, Kenna et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23881933; Patient ALS_56, Scarlino et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32397312). This variant was also reported in a patient with a history of right leg weakness, foot drop, and abnormal gait (https://n.neurology.org/content/84/14_Supplement/S24.007). Additionally, this variant was reported in one affected individual and three controls in a study of long survivors with motor neuron disease (Leighton et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36515702). This variant is reported in 0.064% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD, which may be too common to be a primary cause of disease. Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, with axonal neuropathy 2 Uncertain:1
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. -
not specified Benign:1

Inborn genetic diseases Benign:1
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 Benign:1
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 and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
