Genes affected
FA2H (HGNC:21197): (fatty acid 2-hydroxylase) This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the synthesis of 2-hydroxysphingolipids, a subset of sphingolipids that contain 2-hydroxy fatty acids. Sphingolipids play roles in many cellular processes and their structural diversity arises from modification of the hydrophobic ceramide moiety, such as by 2-hydroxylation of the N-acyl chain, and the existence of many different head groups. Mutations in this gene have been associated with leukodystrophy dysmyelinating with spastic paraparesis with or without dystonia.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

The missense c.443C>T (p.Pro148Leu) variant in FA2H gene has been reported previously in homozygous/ compound heterozygous states in multiple individuals affected with FA2H-related disorders (Dong et al., 2018; Shakya et al., 2019; Rattay et al., 2019; Powis et al., 2020). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. The p.Pro148Leu variant is present with allele frequency of 0.0004% in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/ Likely Pathogenic. Multiple lines of computational evidence (Polyphen - Probably Damaging, SIFT - Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing) predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The reference amino acid at this position on FA2H is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. The amino acid Pro at position 148 is changed to a Leu changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Additional functional studies will be required to prove the pathogenicity of this variant. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 148 of the FA2H protein (p.Pro148Leu). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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 expected to disrupt FA2H protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406877). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 29980238; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs372350326, gnomAD 0.003%). -

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

Variant summary: FA2H c.443C>T (p.Pro148Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251024 control chromosomes. c.443C>T has been reported in the literature in at-least four individuals affected with early onset cerebellar ataxia, multifocal childhood onset dystonia and AR Hereditary spastic paraplegias (example, Shakya _2019, Powis_2020, Dong_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. 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: 29980238, 31628766, 31429931). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406877). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
