This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1923Argfs*28) in the SPG11 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in SPG11 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19105190, 20110243, 22154821, 26556829). This variant is present in population databases (rs312262770, gnomAD 0.04%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) (PMID: 18079167, 18337587, 22246010, 27217339). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.S1923RfsX1950. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41327). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: SPG11 c.5769delT (p.Ser1923ArgfsX28) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 251404 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in SPG11 causing Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, Type 11 (5.2e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.5769delT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, Type 11 (example: Paisan-Ruiz_2008). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18337587). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41327). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The c.5769delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 30 of the SPG11 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 5769, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S1923Rfs*28). This alteration has been detected in the homozygous state, or in conjunction with another SPG11 truncating alteration, in multiple unrelated individuals with SPG11-related neurologic disorders (Khani M et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2020 07;8:e1240; Zulfiqar S et al. J Clin Neurosci, 2019 Sep;67:19-23; Kara E et al. Brain, 2016 07;139:1904-18; Paisan-Ruiz C et al. Neurology, 2008 Apr;70:1384-9; Wakil SM et al. Neurosciences (Riyadh), 2012 Jan;17:48-52). 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.

The homozygous p.Ser1923ArgfsTer28 variant in SPG11 was identified by our study in one individual with Charcot-Marie Tooth disease. The p.Ser1923ArgfsTer28 variant in SPG11 has been previously reported in 3 unrelated individuals with SPG11-related neurologic disease (PMID: 27457812, PMID: 18337587, PMID: 18079167) and segregated with disease in 4 affected relatives from one family (PMID: 18337587), but has been identified in 0.04% (13/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs949342628). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. These 3 affected unrelated individuals were homozygotes (PMID: 27457812, PMID: 18337587, PMID: 18079167), which increases the likelihood that the p.Ser1923ArgfsTer28 variant is pathogenic. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 41327) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1923 and leads to a premature termination codon 28 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the SPG11 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive SPG11-related neurologic disease. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive SPG11-related neurologic disease. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PP1_Moderate (Richards 2015).
