Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Moderate

The NM_000032.5(ALAS2):​c.1231C>T​(p.Arg411Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R411H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

ALAS2 (HGNC:397): (5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2) The product of this gene specifies an erythroid-specific mitochondrially located enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes the first step in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene cause X-linked pyridoxine-responsive sideroblastic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
• PP5: Variant X-55014953-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-55014953-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 10475.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chrX-55014953-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 411 of the ALAS2 protein (p.Arg411Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects ALAS2 function (PMID: 9858242, 21309041). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on ALAS2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10475). This missense change has been observed in individuals with sideroblastic anemia (PMID: 7592563, 9858242, 32297424). -
