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.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-73453825-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-73453825-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 459884.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2435Valfs*7) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Alström syndrome (PMID: 17594715). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 459884). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
