Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31414351, 31980526, 34113002, 26996948, 34535746, 33921431) -

This variant was determined to be pathogenic according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp505*) in the PIGG gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PIGG are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 26996948, 28581210, 28771251). This variant is present in population databases (rs150259543, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PIGG-related conditions (PMID: 34113002). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 476318). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: PIGG c.1515G>A (p.Trp505X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00066 in 251480 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0012 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.1515G>A has been reported in the literature in at least one homozygous individual affected with Autism Spectrum Disorder-Asperger type (Arteche-Lopez_2021). The variant was also found in another homozygous individual with seizures and mild clumsiness, although this second individual was too young to evaluate for intellectual disability (Trembley-Laganiere_2021). Ten submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as pathogenic (n=7), likely pathogenic (n=2), or likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with autosomal recessive intellectual disability 53 (MIM#616917). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0253 - This variant is hemizygous. This individual has a terminal 4p16.3 deletion encompassing the PIGG gene on the other allele. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 for a recessive condition (186 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes), however there is 1 homozygote present in gnomAD v3. (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Many other variants predicted to result in a loss of function have previously been reported in individuals with autosomal recessive intellectual disability 53 (MIM#616917) (ClinVar, DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. The variant has previously been reported as pathogenic in at least five individuals with autosomal recessive intellectual disability 53 (MIM#616917) (ClinVar). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.1515G>A (p.W505*) alteration, located in exon 8 (coding exon 8) of the PIGG gene, consists of a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1515. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan (W) to a stop codon at amino acid position 505. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of 0.1065% (1719/1614208) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.136% (1605/1180030) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. Two homozygotes have been reported in the gnomAD v4.1.0 dataset. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other PIGG variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with PIGG-related glycosylphosphatidylinositol deficiency, sometimes presenting as seizures with developmental delay and sometimes as a milder form of disease characterized by neuropathy. In at least one instance, the variants were identified in trans (Record, 2024; Sidpra, 2024; external communication). The presence of homozygotes in population databases and the variable expressivity may indicate that this variant is associated with reduced penetrance and/or severity compared to other pathogenic PIGG variants. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
