Genes affected
CHIT1 (HGNC:1936): (chitinase 1) Chitotriosidase is secreted by activated human macrophages and is markedly elevated in plasma of Gaucher disease patients. The expression of chitotriosidase occurs only at a late stage of differentiation of monocytes to activated macrophages in culture. Human macrophages can synthesize a functional chitotriosidase, a highly conserved enzyme with a strongly regulated expression. This enzyme may play a role in the degradation of chitin-containing pathogens. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates 0.17558886509635974 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.1, offset of 4, new splice context is: taaGTaagg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
BP6
Variant 1-203217736-TACTC-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-203217736-TACTC-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 294917.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Benign=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.
BA1
GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.0796 is higher than 0.05.

Chitotriosidase deficiency Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017The CHIT1 c.1155_1156+2delGAGT variant occurs in a canonical splice site (donor) and is therefore predicted to disrupt or distort the normal gene product. The variant has been reported in one study where CHIT1 genotyping of patients with Gaucher disease was performed to assess possible issues with therapeutic monitoring (Adelino et al. 2012). In this study, the c.1155_1156+2delGAGT variant was found in a one patient with Gaucher disease along with a second missense variant that is known to reduce chitotriosidase enzyme activity. It was noted that this patient also carried a common allele in this gene (duplication of 24 bp in exon 11 of the CHIT1 gene): an allele which is known to lead to an absence of chitotriosidase enzyme activity. The phase of these variants in this individual is unknown. Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.12963 in the Yoruba Nigerian population of the 1000 Genomes Project. Based on the potential impact of splice variants and the limited evidence, the c.1155_1156+2delGAGT variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for chitotriosidase deficiency. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
