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]

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

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. -

The ELP1 c.1886G>A; p.Arg629His variant (rs148378319), is reported in the literature in a cohort of Paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, but has been found in association with familial dysautonomia with no second variant detected (Apellaniz-Ruiz 2017). This variant is reported as uncertain significance or likely benign in ClinVar (Variation ID: 194739), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.019% (550/282,634 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 629 is moderately conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Arg629His variant is uncertain at this time. References: Apellaniz-Ruiz et al. Targeted Sequencing Reveals Low-Frequency Variants in EPHA Genes as Markers of Paclitaxel-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy. Clin Cancer Res. 2017 Mar 1;23(5):1227-1235. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: IKBKAP c.1886G>A (p.Arg629His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.002 in 276958 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is slightly above the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in IKBKAP causing Familial Dysautonomia phenotype (0.0018), suggesting that the variant may be benign. c.1886G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with glioma and induced peripheral neuropathy, but not familial dysautonomia. Therefore, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about an association of the variant with familial dysautonomia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with two classifying the variant as uncertain significance and one classifying at likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
