Genes affected
SPTA1 (HGNC:11272): (spectrin alpha, erythrocytic 1) This gene encodes a member of a family of molecular scaffold proteins that link the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton and functions in the determination of cell shape, arrangement of transmembrane proteins, and organization of organelles. The encoded protein is primarily composed of 22 spectrin repeats which are involved in dimer formation. It forms a component of the erythrocyte plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene result in a variety of hereditary red blood cell disorders, including elliptocytosis-2, pyropoikilocytosis, and spherocytosis, type 3. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

Published functional characterization of protein harboring the R28C variant indicate no detectable binding affinity to the beta subunit, thus abolishing tetramer formation (Gaetani et al., 2008); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 7074218, 18218854, 8435324, 28090778, 31286676, 30317022, 35961434, 29729090, 1679439)

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg28 amino acid residue in SPTA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with SPTA1-related conditions (PMID: 30317022), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SPTA1 function (PMID: 18218854). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on SPTA1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12855). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant elliptocytosis and/or autosomal recessive hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (PMID: 1679439, 28090778, 29729090, 31286676). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 28 of the SPTA1 protein (p.Arg28Cys).

This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in patients with elliptocytosis, anemia, and hyperbilirubinemia (PMID: 1679439, 8435324, 31286676). The c.82C>T (p.Arg28Cys) variant is located in a mutational hotspot for pathogenic variations associated with elliptocytosis (PMID:2328319). Different amino acid changes at the same residue (p.Arg28His, p.Arg28Leu, p.Arg28Ser) have been previously reported in individuals with elliptocytosis (PMID: 1878597). In-vitro studies showed that this alteration leads to abnormal protein function (PMID: 18218854). The c.82C>T (p.Arg28Cys) variant is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. The c.82C>T (p.Arg28Cys) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.82C>T (p.Arg28Cys) variant is classified as Pathogenic.
