Genes affected
SACS (HGNC:10519): (sacsin molecular chaperone) This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that "the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins" (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Variant summary: SACS c.10982C>T (p.Ala3661Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0011 in 281386 control chromosomes with 2 homozygotes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in SACS causing Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia Of Charlevoix-Saguenay (0.0011 vs 0.0079), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.10982C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Spastic Paraplegia (Sun_2019). The variant was also found occuring in one compound heterozygous individual affected with intellectual disability (Martin_2017), however, this individual also carried a de novo variant in GRIA4 c.2090G>C [p.Arg697Pro]. GRIA4 associated neurodevelopmental disorders are autosomal dominant (OMIM #617864), and the authors conclude this GRIA4 variant was the cause of the patients phenotype. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29220673, 29915382). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 212109). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
