Genes affected
HGSNAT (HGNC:26527): (heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes a lysosomal acetyltransferase, which is one of several enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparin sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sanfilippo syndrome C, one type of the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccaridosis III, which results from impaired degradation of heparan sulfate.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 2.9, offset of -11, new splice context is: ggccacctattaataactAGatt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 8-43178073-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-43178073-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 556501.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in HGSNAT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17033958, 19479962). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis (PMID: 17397050, 30809705). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556501). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 9 of the HGSNAT gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
