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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser2102*) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). This variant is present in population databases (rs28730854, gnomAD 0.02%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Alstrom syndrome (PMID: 17594715, 30488743). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 871762). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: ALMS1 c.6299C>A (p.Ser2100X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 247674 control chromosomes. c.6299C>A has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with Alstrom Syndrome (example, Bahena_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34148116). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 871762). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.6305C>A;p.(Ser2102*) variant creates a premature translational stop signal in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product -PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 871762; PMID: 30488743; 30064963; 17594715) - PS4. The variant is present at low allele frequencies population databases (rs28730854 – gnomAD 0.0004602%; ABraOM no frequency - https://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2_supporting. The p.(Ser2102*) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 30488743; 30064963; 17594715) - PM3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32531858, 31106028, 30488743, 30064963, 34148116, 17594715, 29302074) -

The p.S2102* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.6305C>A), located in coding exon 8 of the ALMS1 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 6305. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This variant has been identified in the homozygous state and/or in conjunction with other ALMS1 variant(s) in individual(s) with features consistent with Alstrom syndrome (Marshall JD et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Nov;28:1114-23; Citton V et al. J Neuroradiol, 2016 Jun;43:195-9; Han JC et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2018 07;103:2707-2719; Hu H et al. Mol Psychiatry, 2019 07;24:1027-1039; Wang P et al. Transl Vis Sci Technol, 2019 Mar;8:21). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
