Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PVS1_StrongPP1_StrongPP4_StrongPM2_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_005629.4:c.1540C>T (p.Arg514Ter) variant in SLC6A8 is a nonsense variant that is predicted to cause a premature stop codon in biologically-relevant-exon 11/13, leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1. (PM2_Supporting). A male patient has been reported with almost complete absence of the creatine signal on brain MRS, elevated creatine in urine, and virtually undetectable creatine transport in fibroblasts (PMID:11326334) (PP4_Strong). The mother, maternal aunt, and maternal grandmother are all heterozygous for the variant and all have evidence of creatine transporter deficiency. The paternal uncle has severe intellectual disability but was unavailable for study (PMID:11326334) (PP1_Strong). The variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1. (PM2_Supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as pathogenic for X-linked creatine transporter deficiency. SLC6A8-specific ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Cerebral creatine Deficiencies Variant Curation Expert Panel CCDS VCEP) (Specifications Version 1.1.0): PVS1, PP1_Strong, PP4_Strong, PM2_Supporting.(Classification approved by the ClinGen CCDS VCEP on Oct. 13, 2023) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA256009/MONDO:0010305/027

Genes affected
SLC6A8 (HGNC:11055): (solute carrier family 6 member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a plasma membrane protein whose function is to transport creatine into and out of cells. Defects in this gene can result in X-linked creatine deficiency syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]
SLC6A8 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):
