Genes affected
SLC4A1 (HGNC:11027): (solute carrier family 4 member 1 (Diego blood group)) The protein encoded by this gene is part of the anion exchanger (AE) family and is expressed in the erythrocyte plasma membrane, where it functions as a chloride/bicarbonate exchanger involved in carbon dioxide transport from tissues to lungs. The protein comprises two domains that are structurally and functionally distinct. The N-terminal 40kDa domain is located in the cytoplasm and acts as an attachment site for the red cell skeleton by binding ankyrin. The glycosylated C-terminal membrane-associated domain contains 12-14 membrane spanning segments and carries out the stilbene disulphonate-sensitive exchange transport of anions. The cytoplasmic tail at the extreme C-terminus of the membrane domain binds carbonic anhydrase II. The encoded protein associates with the red cell membrane protein glycophorin A and this association promotes the correct folding and translocation of the exchanger. This protein is predominantly dimeric but forms tetramers in the presence of ankyrin. Many mutations in this gene are known in man, and these mutations can lead to two types of disease: destabilization of red cell membrane leading to hereditary spherocytosis, and defective kidney acid secretion leading to distal renal tubular acidosis. Other mutations that do not give rise to disease result in novel blood group antigens, which form the Diego blood group system. Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO, Melanesian ovalocytosis) results from the heterozygous presence of a deletion in the encoded protein and is common in areas where Plasmodium falciparum malaria is endemic. One null mutation in this gene is known, resulting in very severe anemia and nephrocalcinosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.89 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000017764 /PMID: 9312167 /3billion dataset). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 12750988, 16420521, 28233610, 28542241, 29627839, 30230413, 9312167). Different missense changes at the same codon (p.Arg589His, p.Arg589Leu, p.Arg589Ser) have been reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000017763, VCV000017766 /PMID: 34746046, 9312167, 9600966). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 589 of the SLC4A1 protein (p.Arg589Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant SLC4A1-related conditions (PMID: 12750988, 28233610, 28542241, 29627839). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17764). 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 SLC4A1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg589 amino acid residue in SLC4A1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9312167, 16420521, 29627839, 30230413). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Sydney Genome Diagnostics, Children's Hospital Westmead
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

This individual is heterozygous for the c.1765C>T variant in the SLC4A1 gene. This variant has been previously described in patients with autosomal dominant distal renal tubular acidosis (AD dRTA), with at least one case found to be de novo in origin (Bruce et al 1997 J Clin Invest 100: 1693-1707; Sritippayawan et al 2003 Pediatr Nephrol 18: 644-648). The p.Arg589 residue in SLC4A1, also known as AE1, is a mutation hotspot with other missense variants at p.Arg589 reported in patients with AD dRTA (e.g. Karet et al Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 95:6337-6342). The variant has not been reported in any population databases (i.e. gnomAd, ExAC, ESP or dbSNP). In silico analysis of pathogenicity (through Alamut Visual v2.8.1) using PolyPhen2, SIFT and MutationTaster suggest that this variant is likely to be pathogenic. This variant is considered to be pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines. -
