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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingParis Brain Institute, Inserm - ICM-- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteMay 06, 2021Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix–Saguenay (ARSACS) (MIM#270550). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0205 - Variant is predicted to result in a truncated protein (premature termination codon is NOT located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction) with less than 1/3 of the protein sequence affected. (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v3: 1 heterozygote, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other downstream truncating variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (Clinvar). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported in at least four autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix–Saguenay (ARSACS) patients and has been classified as pathogenic by diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar (PMID: 20876471, 22805644, 26288984, 29538656). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Spastic paraplegia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 18, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550274). This variant is also known as p.I3755Mfs*7. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 20876471, 22805644, 26288984, 29538656). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile3755Metfs*8) in the SACS gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 825 amino acid(s) of the SACS protein. -
