Genes affected

ABCC9 (HGNC:60): (ATP binding cassette subfamily C member 9) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MRP subfamily which is involved in multi-drug resistance. This protein is thought to form ATP-sensitive potassium channels in cardiac, skeletal, and vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle. Protein structure suggests a role as the drug-binding channel-modulating subunit of the extra-pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Mutations in this gene are associated with cardiomyopathy dilated type 1O. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The c.2238-1G>A var iant in ABCC9 has been identified by our laboratory in two individuals with DCM, one of whom carried a second pathogenic variant in another gene. It has also be en identified in 0.7% (118/16384) of South Asian chromosomes by the Exome Aggreg ation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs141281214). This frequency raises doubt as to whether this variant can cause a dominant disease. However, this variant is expected to abolish the 3? splice site of exon 18 and create a novel spice site 3 bases further downstream, which would result in an i n-frame deletion of one amino acid. In summary, additional information is needed to fully assess the clinical significance of the c.2238-1G>A variant. -

Variant summary: ABCC9 c.2238-1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site, which are typically predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. In the case of this variant, however, 4/4 computational tools predict that the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site, but strengthens or creates a cryptic 3' acceptor site three bases downstream, which would be predicted to result in the deletion of only one amino acid from the protein. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0015 in 243104 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 59- fold the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ABCC9 causing Cardiomyopathy phenotype (2.5e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.2238-1G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Cardiomyopathy (examples- Bottillo_2016, Cirino_2017, Seidelmann_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Cardiomyopathy. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. They cited the variant as benign (n=1), likley benign (n=2), and uncertain significance (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
