Genes affected

SPAST (HGNC:11233): (spastin) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The use of alternative translational initiation sites in this gene results in a single transcript variant that can produce isoforms that differ in the length of their N-terminus and which thereby differ in the efficiency of their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode isoforms that differ in other protein regions as well. One isoform of this gene has been shown to be a microtubule-severing enzyme that regulates microtubule abundance, mobility, and plus-end distribution. Mutations in this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-32136969-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-32136969-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 805511.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 Pathogenic:3

Oct 13, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 11 of the SPAST gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20932283). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia (PMID: 15841487, 31227335, 31630374). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 805511). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0103 - Dominant Negative and loss-of-function are known mechanisms of disease for this gene and are associated with spastic paraplegia 4 (MIM#182601). Multiple loss of function variants have been reported, while a dominant negative mechanism has been stipulated for a small number of missense variants (ClinVar; PMID: 30006150). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance, but this is age-dependant and only a small proportion of individuals remain asymptomatic (PMID: 30476002). (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity, with variable age of onset and disease severity (PMID: 30476002). (I) 0211 - Canonical splice site variant without proven consequence on splicing (no functional evidence available). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0505 - Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0701 - Other canonical and non-canonical splice site variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. The c.1413+2T>G, c.1413+2T>A, c.1413+4A>G and c.1413+5G>A splice site variants have been reported in individuals or families with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) (PMIDs: 22960362, 24033003, 26208798, 27688599). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and has been identified in two individuals with HSP (ClinVar, PMIDs: 15841487, 25341883). (SP) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant disrupts a canonical splice site, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and not found in general population data. -
