Genes affected
BSCL2 (HGNC:15832): (BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin) This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Naturally occurring read-through transcription occurs between this locus and the neighboring locus HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 07, 2022The p.S280F variant (also known as c.839C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the BSCL2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 839. The serine at codon 280 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Severe neurodegenerative syndrome with lipodystrophy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterNov 10, 2020The p.Ser344Phe variant has not been reported in affected individuals in the literature. The variant has 0.0001 allele frequency in the gnomAD database (29 out of 282,872 heterozygous alleles) indicating it is a rare allele in the general population. The affected residue is moderately conserved and different in silico tools show conflicting predictions about the potential pathogenicity of this variant. -
