Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate

The NM_001378454.1(ALMS1):​c.10535_10536insTGTCTTTCCAAGATTGGAA​(p.Lys3512AsnfsTer18) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000745 in 1,611,212 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

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

The c.10538_10539ins19 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the ALMS1 gene, results from an insertion of 19 nucleotides at position 10538, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K3513Nfs*18). This variant (referred to as 10535ins(n)19) has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ALMS1 variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with Alstrom syndrome (Collin GB et al. Nat Genet. 2002 May;31(1):74-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
