Genes affected

SACS (HGNC:10519): (sacsin molecular chaperone) This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that "the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins" (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the SACS protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg3903*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19892370, 21745802). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549687). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of SACS-related conditions (PMID: 29858556). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp968Valfs*13) in the SACS gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 3612 amino acid(s) of the SACS protein.
