Genes affected
SPR (HGNC:11257): (sepiapterin reductase) This gene encodes an aldo-keto reductase that catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of pteridine derivatives and is important in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Mutations in this gene result in DOPA-responsive dystonia due to sepiaterin reductase deficiency. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMay 22, 2022The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.008%). Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by less than 10%. Functional studies provide moderate evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 21431957). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 21677200) and co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID: 18502672, 21677200). It has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000012944 / PMID: 16917893). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
not provided Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoAug 13, 2022DNA sequence analysis of the SPR gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.751A>T, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 251, p.Lys251*. While this sequence change is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 11 amino acids of the SPR protein. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.01% in the European subpopulation (dbSNP rs121917747). This sequence change has previously been described in individuals with SPR deficiency in both homozygous and the compound heterozygous state (PMID: 21431957,18502672, 25763508,16917893, 24212389) . Functional assay involving western blot analysis showed significantly reduced residual SPR enzyme activity for this sequence change (PMID: 21431957). These collective evidences indicate that this sequence change is pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 19, 2021Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect, with less than 1% residual SPR enzyme activity on western blot analysis (Arrabal et al., 2011); Nonsense variant in the C-terminus predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 11 amino acids are lost (Stenson et al., 2014); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21677200, 24212389, 22522443, 21431957, 16917893, 25763508, 31589614) -

Dystonic disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 02, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys251*) in the SPR gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 11 amino acid(s) of the SPR protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs121917747, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with SPR-related conditions (PMID: 16917893, 18502672, 21431957, 21677200, 24212389, 25763508, 29116116). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12944). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
