Genes affected

C19orf12 (HGNC:25443): (chromosome 19 open reading frame 12) This gene encodes a small transmembrane protein. Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation-4 (NBIA4), but the specific function of the encoded protein is unknown. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 9.483568 fraction of the gene.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 19-29702978-CT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-29702978-CT-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 434550.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.

Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 4 Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Sep 01, 2022	The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Canonical splice site is predicted to alter splicing and result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10%. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported to be associated with C19orf12-related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000434550 / PMID: 29915382). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 434550). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of autosomal recessive neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (PMID: 23269600, 29915382). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the C19orf12 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the C19orf12 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
