Genes affected

SGCE (HGNC:10808): (sarcoglycan epsilon) This gene encodes the epsilon member of the sarcoglycan family. Sarcoglycans are transmembrane proteins that are components of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex, which link the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Unlike other family members which are predominantly expressed in striated muscle, the epsilon sarcoglycan is more broadly expressed. Mutations in this gene are associated with myoclonus-dystonia syndrome. This gene is imprinted, with preferential expression from the paternal allele. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 2. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

CASD1 (HGNC:16014): (CAS1 domain containing 1) Enables N-acetylneuraminate 7-O(or 9-O)-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in carbohydrate metabolic process. Is integral component of Golgi membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

This sequence change falls in intron 2 of the SGCE gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SGCE protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice donor site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a SGCE-related disease. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are relatively common causes of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of nucleotide changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may alter RNA splicing, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. Nucleotide substitutions affecting the intron 2 splice donor site (c.232+1G>A and c.232+2T>C) are reported to be causative for dystonia (PMID: 16227522, 16227522 ). In summary, this is a novel intronic change with uncertain impact on splicing. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
