The NM_006946.4(SPTBN2):​c.92C>T​(p.Ser31Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000913 in 1,614,140 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S31P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
SPTBN2 (HGNC:11276): (spectrin beta, non-erythrocytic 2) Spectrins are principle components of a cell's membrane-cytoskeleton and are composed of two alpha and two beta spectrin subunits. The protein encoded by this gene (SPTBN2), is called spectrin beta non-erythrocytic 2 or beta-III spectrin. It is related to, but distinct from, the beta-II spectrin gene which is also known as spectrin beta non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1). SPTBN2 regulates the glutamate signaling pathway by stabilizing the glutamate transporter EAAT4 at the surface of the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene cause a form of spinocerebellar ataxia, SCA5, that is characterized by neurodegeneration, progressive locomotor incoordination, dysarthria, and uncoordinated eye movements.

Variant summary: SPTBN2 c.92C>T (p.Ser31Leu) 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 0.00091 in 1614140 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SPTBN2 causing Spinocerebellar Ataxia 5, allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.92C>T in individuals affected with Spinocerebellar Ataxia 5 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448526). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
