Genes affected

PSEN2 (HGNC:9509): (presenilin 2) Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with an inherited form of the disease carry mutations in the presenilin proteins (PSEN1 or PSEN2) or the amyloid precursor protein (APP). These disease-linked mutations result in increased production of the longer form of amyloid-beta (main component of amyloid deposits found in AD brains). Presenilins are postulated to regulate APP processing through their effects on gamma-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves APP. Also, it is thought that the presenilins are involved in the cleavage of the Notch receptor such that, they either directly regulate gamma-secretase activity, or themselves act are protease enzymes. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of PSEN2 have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.07275427 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 8.3, offset of 1, new splice context is: atgGTgagc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect 2: max_spliceai, phyloP100way_vertebrate [when was below the threshold]
• PP5: Variant 1-226890134-GTGA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-226890134-GTGA-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 465218.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PSEN2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18834536, 20375137, 24704512). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PSEN2-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 9 of the PSEN2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
