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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jan 24, 2019	Variant summary: SACS c.814C>T (p.Arg272Cys) 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 1.2e-05 in 246202 control chromosomes. c.814C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay and in families with segregation data (Guernsey_2010, Thiffaul_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 13, 2020	Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect (Lariviere et al., 2019); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30866998, 23250129, 30901567, 29945973, 31493945, 19892370, 23280630) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Apr 06, 2023	The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 30866998, 29945973). In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 272 of the SACS protein (p.Arg272Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374128662, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with SACS-related conditions (PMID: 19892370, 30901567). 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. 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 SACS protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Oct 28, 2016

The p.Arg272Cys variant in SACS has been reported in 2 individuals with ataxia a nd segregated with the disease in 3 affected individuals from each family. Affec ted members from one of the families were homozygous whereas affected individual s from the other family were compound heterozygous (Guernsey 2010), while unaffe cted individuals were all heterozygous or did not have the p.Arg272Cys variant. The variant has been identified in 1/8600 European American chromosomes by the N HLBI Exome Sequencing Project and was absent from >60,000 individuals in the ExA C database (http://evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/; http://exac.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs374128662). Although this variant has been seen in the general populatio n, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequen cy. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p. Arg272Cys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predict ive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies a re required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg272Cys varian t is likely pathogenic. -
