Genes affected

BCS1L (HGNC:1020): (BCS1 homolog, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase complex chaperone) This gene encodes a homolog of the S. cerevisiae bcs1 protein which is involved in the assembly of complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The encoded protein does not contain a mitochondrial targeting sequence but experimental studies confirm that it is imported into mitochondria. Mutations in this gene are associated with mitochondrial complex III deficiency and the GRACILE syndrome. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding two different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg56*) in the BCS1L gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BCS1L are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12215968, 17314340, 19162478, 19508421, 22277166, 25895478). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908576, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with BCS1L-related conditions (PMID: 12215968, 12910490, 19508421, 22277166). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6169). 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The BCS1L c.166C>T (p.Arg56X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BCS1L protein due to nonsense mediated decay (NMD), which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant is predicted to truncate N-terminal, P-loop and ATPase domains. Truncations downstream of this position (e.g. p.R186* and p.R291*, etc.) have been have been reported in patients with BCS1L-linked phenotypes in literature. Functional study shows that this variant drastically reduces the expression of mRNA (Gil-Borlado_2009). This variant was found in 23/122068 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001884, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BCS1L variant (0.0025). This variant is found in several families/patients with complex III deficiency in compound heterozygous with other missense or promoter mutations. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BCS1L c.166C>T (p.Arg56Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant which is predicted to truncate the protein. The p.Arg56Ter variant has been reported in at least five studies in a total of six individuals with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III deficiency or GRACILE syndrome, including an affected sibling pair, in a compound heterozygous state (Visapaa et al. 2002; De Meirleir et al. 2003; Gil-Borlado et al. 2009; Ramos-Arroyo et al. 2009; Lynn et al. 2012). The variant was also found in a heterozygous state in an unaffected parent of the affected sibling pair who exhibited isolated biochemical complex III deficiency in the liver (De Meirleir et al. 2003). The p.Arg56Ter variant was absent from 400 controls, and is reported at a frequency of 0.00069 in the Latino population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence from the literature and the potential impact of stop-gained variants, the p.Arg56Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for BCS1L-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The BCS1L c.166C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg56*). This variant was reported as pathogenic in multiple individuals with autosomal recessive GRACILE syndrome or mitochondrial complex 3 deficiency (Visapaa. 2002. PubMed ID: 12215968; Morán. 2010. PubMed ID: 20518024; Lynn. 2012. PubMed ID: 22277166). This variant is reported in 0.048% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. Nonsense variants in BCS1L are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
