Genes affected

PIGN (HGNC:8967): (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class N) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor. Two alternatively spliced variants, which encode an identical isoform, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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 18-62113309-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr18-62113309-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 472207.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu420Phefs*5) in the PIGN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PIGN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24253414, 27038415). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PIGN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472207). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Molecular Genetics, Royal Melbourne Hospital

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change is a deletion of 1 bp in exon 16 (of 31) of PIGN that is predicted to create a premature termination codon at position 424 (p.(Leu420Phefs*5)). It is expected to result in nonsense mediated decay, in a gene where loss of function is an established mechanism of disease (ClinGen). The variant is absent in a large population cohort (gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1), and has been reported as pathogenic (ClinVar). It has not been reported in the relevant medical literature. Based on the classification scheme RMH Modified ACMG Guidelines v1.3.2, this variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC. Following criteria are met: PVS1, PM2_Supporting. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: PIGN c.1258delC (p.Leu420PhefsX5) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 224224 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1258delC in individuals affected with Multiple Congenital Anomalies-Hypotonia Syndrome 1 and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 472207). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
