Genes affected
HPS4 (HGNC:15844): (HPS4 biogenesis of lysosomal organelles complex 3 subunit 2) This gene encodes a protein component of biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles complexes (BLOC). BLOC complexes are important for the formation of endosomal-lysosomal organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in this gene result in subtype 4 of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, a form of albinism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Gln378X variant in HPS4 has not been previously reported in individuals wi th Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS), but has been identified in 3/66728 European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/ ; dbSNP rs369053765). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination cod on at position 378, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Complete loss of HPS4 function has been reported in several individuals with HP S. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its c linical significance, the p.Gln378X variant is likely pathogenic. -

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

Variant summary: HPS4 c.1132C>T (p.Gln378X) 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 1.6e-05 in 251482 control chromosomes. c.1132C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (Huizing_2020). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31898847). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method:curation

The p.Gln378Ter variant in HPS4 has been reported in 1 individual, in the homozygous state, with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4 (PMID: 31898847) and has been identified in 0.004% (4/113758) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs369053765). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 228266) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by Invitae and Laboratory for Molecular Medicine (Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 378, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the HPS4 gene is strongly associated to autosomal recessive Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 4. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_strong, PM3_supporting, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln378*) in the HPS4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in HPS4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 12664304). This variant is present in population databases (rs369053765, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (PMID: 31898847). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228266). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
