Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_194454.3(KRIT1):c.1255-1_1256delGTA(p.Tyr419fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice acceptor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000069 in 1,449,596 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
KRIT1 (HGNC:1573): (KRIT1 ankyrin repeat containing) This gene encodes a protein containing four ankyrin repeats, a band 4.1/ezrin/radixin/moesin (FERM) domain, and multiple NPXY sequences. The encoded protein is localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It binds to integrin cytoplasmic domain-associated protein-1 alpha (ICAP1alpha), and plays a critical role in beta1-integrin-mediated cell proliferation. It associates with junction proteins and RAS-related protein 1A (Rap1A), which requires the encoded protein for maintaining the integrity of endothelial junctions. It is also a microtubule-associated protein and may play a role in microtubule targeting. Mutations in this gene result in cerebral cavernous malformations. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 14 (c.1255-1_1256del) of the KRIT1 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 KRIT1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10508515, 11222804, 12404106, 24689081). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with cerebral cavernous malformations (PMID: 11914398, 18300272, 24689081). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as IVS13-2delATG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 468206). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The KRIT1 c.1255-1_1256delGTA variant is predicted to result in a deletion affecting a canonical splice site. This variant is predicted to result in an intronic in-frame deletion. This deletion of three nucleotides abolishes the consensus splice acceptor signal and is predicted to result in aberrant splicing (SpliceAI, Jaganathan K, et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30661751). This variant has been reported multiple times to be causative for cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) (Verlaan et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11914398; Stahl et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18300272). We have also observed this deletion in several other affected patients at PreventionGenetics. This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
