Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1098 of the ALMS1 protein (p.Tyr1098Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs201816596, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ALMS1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 390302). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the ALMS1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3293A>G, in exon 8 that results in an amino acid change, p.Tyr1098Cys. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.19% in the African/African-American subpopulation (dbSNP rs201816596). The p.Tyr1098Cys change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the ALMS1 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Tyr1098Cys substitution. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with ALMS1-related disorders. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Tyr1098Cys change remains unknown at this time. -

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
