Genes affected
PSAP (HGNC:9498): (prosaposin) This gene encodes a highly conserved preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate four main cleavage products including saposins A, B, C, and D. Each domain of the precursor protein is approximately 80 amino acid residues long with nearly identical placement of cysteine residues and glycosylation sites. Saposins A-D localize primarily to the lysosomal compartment where they facilitate the catabolism of glycosphingolipids with short oligosaccharide groups. The precursor protein exists both as a secretory protein and as an integral membrane protein and has neurotrophic activities. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Gaucher disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]

This sequence change in PSAP may cause a truncated or absent protein by altering the start codon of the coding sequence and is predicted to lead to the omission of a critical region of the protein (PMID: 17616409, 17919309; ClinVar: SCV001231459.2, SCV001590882.1). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1 is 0.004% (3/74,284 alleles) in the European (non-Finnish) population. This variant has been detected in at least five individuals with PSAP-related disorders with prosaposin deficiency from three unrelated families. Of those individuals, three individuals were homozygous and two siblings were compound heterozygous for the variant and a variant of uncertain significance, confirmed in trans (PMID: 1371116, 15944902, 17919309). Patients with this variant have displayed saposin C deficiency or combined saposin deficiency in fibroblasts/cell extracts (PMID: 1371116, 20484222). Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.5.1, this variant is classified as PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1_Strong, PM3, PP1_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PP4. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individuals with PSAP-related conditions (PMID: 1371116, 17616409, 20484222). This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the PSAP mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 76. This variant is present in population databases (rs121918106, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant is also known as M1L. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13365). Studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon alters PSAP gene expression (PMID: 20484222). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
