Autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1 Pathogenic:3
Jan 25, 2023

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

The heterozygous p.Cys46Ter variant in IGHMBP2 was identified by our study, in the compound heterozygous state with a variant of uncertain significance (dbSNP ID: rs1449942315), in one individual with distal spinal muscular atrophy. This individual also carried a variant of uncertain significance (dbSNP ID: rs1449942315); however, the phase of these variants are unknown at this time. The p.Cys46Ter variant in IGHMBP2 has been previously reported in 5 unrelated individuals with autosomal recessive IGHMBP2-related neurological disease (PMID: 25568292, PMID: 25439726, PMID: 14681881) and segregated with disease in 7 affected relatives from 4 families (PMID: 25439726, PMID: 25568292), but has been identified in 0.0035% (4/113764) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs372000714). 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. Of these 5 affected individuals (PMID: 25568292, PMID: 25439726, PMID: 14681881), 4 were compound heterozygotes who carried pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in trans (PMID: 25568292, ClinVar Variation ID: 162195; PMID: 25439726, ClinVar Variation ID: 162195; PMID: 14681881), which increases the likelihood that the p.Cys46Ter variant is pathogenic. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 162194) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 46, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the IGHMBP2 gene is strongly associated to autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive distal spinal muscular atrophy 1. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1_Strong, PM2_Supporting, PM3_VeryStrong, PP1_Moderate (Richards 2015). -

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

The p.C46* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.138T>A), located in coding exon 2 of the IGHMBP2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 138. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This variant was detected as compound heterozygous with another mutation in IGHMBP2 in multiple individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (Cottenie E et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2014 Nov;95:590-601; Schottmann G et al. Neurology, 2015 Feb;84:523-31). This variant was also detected in an individual with distal spinal muscular atrophy 1 with respiratory distress (SMARD1) (Grohmann K et al. Ann Neurol, 2003 Dec;54:719-24). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys46*) in the IGHMBP2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in IGHMBP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 14681881, 25439726, 25568292). This variant is present in population databases (rs372000714, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress 1 and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 (PMID: 14681881, 25439726, 25568292). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162194). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
