Genes affected
SETX (HGNC:445): (senataxin) This gene encodes a protein named for its homology to the Sen1p protein of fungi which has RNA helicase activity encoded by a domain at the C-terminal end of the protein. The protein encoded by this gene contains a DNA/RNA helicase domain at its C-terminal end which suggests that it may be involved in both DNA and RNA processing. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia-2 (AOA2) and an autosomal dominant form of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS4). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The p.Val891Ala variant (rs148181729) has been previously reported in a family with a dominantly inherited, atypical course of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS4; Rudnik-Schoneborn 2012), with affected individuals experiencing distal limb weakness and abnormal tendon reflexes. In this family, a previously characterized, dominant-acting variant (p.Leu389Ser) was discovered in all three affected individuals, likely explaining the majority of the phenotype. However, in the proband and his similarly effected sister, but not their affected father, the p.Val891Ala variant was observed in trans to p.Leu389Ser. Both children experienced an earlier age of onset (10 and 15 years) compared to their father (35 years), raising the possibility that the p.Val891Ala variant could be influencing the clinical phenotype. The p.Val891Ala variant is listed in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) with an allele frequency in African Americans of 1.7% (identified in 73 out of 4,406 chromosomes), and in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) browser with a frequency in African populations of 1.5% (identified in 1 out of 120,000 chromosomes). The valine at codon 891 is weakly conserved considering 11 species (Alamut software v2.7.1), and computational analyses suggest this does not have a significant effect on SETX protein structure/function (SIFT: tolerated, PolyPhen2: benign, and Mutation Taster: polymorphism). However, based on the available information, the clinical significance of the p.Val891Ala variant cannot be determined with certainty. -

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). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
