Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003126.4(SPTA1):c.82C>T(p.Arg28Cys) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000248 in 1,613,680 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R28H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.
