Genes affected
SEPSECS (HGNC:30605): (Sep (O-phosphoserine) tRNA:Sec (selenocysteine) tRNA synthase) The amino acid selenocysteine is the only amino acid that does not have its own tRNA synthetase. Instead, this amino acid is synthesized on its cognate tRNA in a three step process. The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the third step in the process, the conversion of O-phosphoseryl-tRNA(Sec) to selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 02, 2023This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 239 of the SEPSECS protein (p.Ala239Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs267607035, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with progressive cerebellocerebral atrophy (PMID: 20920667). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 18401). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SEPSECS protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SEPSECS function (PMID: 20920667, 27576344). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pontoneocerebellar hypoplasia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 16, 2021Variant summary: SEPSECS c.715G>A (p.Ala239Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 252236 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in SEPSECS causing Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, Type 2D (4.4e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.715G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with progressive cerebellocerebral atrophy or progressive axonal polyneuropathy (Agamy_2010, Iwama_2016, Keller_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least two functional studies report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and this variant caused complete inactivity of SEPSECS due to it's insolubility and inability to form productive tetramers (Agamy_2010, Puppala_2016). Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic and likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
