Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BS2
The NM_004863.4(SPTLC2):c.1226C>T(p.Thr409Met) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000018 in 1,614,048 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. T409T) has been classified as Likely benign.

Submissions by phenotype
not specified Uncertain:1
A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the SPTLC2 gene. The T409M variant has been reported as a pathogenic variant; however no additional information was provided (Astudillo et al.; Duan et al., 2015). Functions studies suggested that the T409M variant does not appear to be associated with HSAN1 and that it may be a benign variant (Bode et al., 2016). It was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The T409M variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. In silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
Neuropathy, hereditary sensory and autonomic, type 1C Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 409 of the SPTLC2 protein (p.Thr409Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs368357970, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (PMID: 36966328). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 373497). 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 SPTLC2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect SPTLC2 function (PMID: 26681808). 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. -
