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]

Variant summary: SACS c.2983G>T (p.Val995Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0022 in 1611978 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 10 homozygotes, providing strong evidence for a benign role of the variant. c.2983G>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with autosomal recessive Charlevoix-Saguenay spastic ataxia (ARSACS) with second allele classified on VUS-benign spectrum in ClinVar (e.g. Musante_2022), in an individual affected with spastic cerebellar ataxia with a second variant of unknown phase or classification (e.g. Coutelier_2018), in an individual affected with unexplained early-onset ataxia with second variant classified on VUS-benign spectrum in ClinVar, phase unknown (e.g. Synofzik_2013), or reported as a polymorphism in an individual affected with or with suspected ARSACS with no genotype/second variant reported (e.g. Vermeer_2009). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Charlevoix-Saguenay spastic ataxia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29482223, 35328054, 23497566, 19779133). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 218707). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

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 allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
