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: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-32087520-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-32087520-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 536448.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Paris Brain Institute, Inserm - ICM	-	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Mar 03, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp148*) in the SPAST gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20932283). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 23252998). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 536448). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
