Genes affected
ELP1 (HGNC:5959): (elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 1) The protein encoded by this gene is a scaffold protein and a regulator for three different kinases involved in proinflammatory signaling. The encoded protein can bind NF-kappa-B-inducing kinase and I-kappa-B kinases through separate domains and assemble them into an active kinase complex. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial dysautonomia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

The p.Arg1094Gly variant (rs146440397) has not been reported in the medical literature, gene specific variation databases, nor has it been previously identified by our laboratory. This variant is listed in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) with a frequency of 0.2 percent in the European Non-Finnish population (identified on 215 out of 126,458 chromosomes) and has been reported to the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 242294). The arginine at position 1094 is highly conserved up to C. elegans considering 13 species (Alamut v2.11) and computational analyses of the effects of the p.Arg1094Gly variant on protein structure and function provide conflicting results (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen-2: probably damaging). Altogether, there is not enough evidence to classify the p.Arg1094Gly variant with certainty.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease.

Variant summary: ELP1 c.3280A>G (p.Arg1094Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0017 in 1606438 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0023 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 8 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.25-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in ELP1 causing Familial Dysautonomia phenotype (0.0018). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3280A>G in individuals affected with Familial Dysautonomia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 242294). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R1094G variant (also known as c.3280A>G), located in coding exon 29 of the IKBKAP gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3280. The arginine at codon 1094 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
