Genes affected

SCARB2 (HGNC:1665): (scavenger receptor class B member 2) The protein encoded by this gene is a type III glycoprotein that is located primarily in limiting membranes of lysosomes and endosomes. Earlier studies in mice and rat suggested that this protein may participate in membrane transportation and the reorganization of endosomal/lysosomal compartment. The protein deficiency in mice was reported to impair cell membrane transport processes and cause pelvic junction obstruction, deafness, and peripheral neuropathy. Further studies in human showed that this protein is a ubiquitously expressed protein and that it is involved in the pathogenesis of HFMD (hand, foot, and mouth disease) caused by enterovirus-71 and possibly by coxsackievirus A16. Mutations in this gene caused an autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy-4 (EPM4), also known as action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome (AMRF). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Variant summary: SCARB2 c.862C>T (p.Gln288X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic in ClinVar. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251182 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.862C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with features of Action Myoclonus-Renal Failure Syndrome (examples: Berkovic_2008, and Li_2023). At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant disrupts the normal trafficking of the SCARB2 protein (Blanz_2010). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18308289, 19933215, 35478072). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The Q288X nonsense variant in the SCARB2 gene has been reported previously in association with action myoclonus-renal failure syndrome and also progressive myoclonic epilepsy without renal failure (Berkovic et al., 2008; Dibbens et al., 2011). Functional analysis shows that Q288X disrupts the normal trafficking of the SCARB2 protein (Blanz et al., 2010). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Additionally, it was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Therefore, Q288X is interpreted to be a pathogenic variant. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln288*) in the SCARB2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SCARB2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19847901). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909118, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SCARB2-related conditions (PMID: 18308289). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7378). 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. -
