Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BP4_Strong
The ENST00000537196.1(ELP1):c.-101C>T variant causes a 5 prime UTR premature start codon gain change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000936 in 1,613,762 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 316 of the ELP1 protein (p.Pro316Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs374814563, gnomAD 0.08%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ELP1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 364577). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the IKBKAP gene. The P316L variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The P316L variant is observed in 12/10,406 (0.1%) alleles from individuals of African background (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The P316L variant is a semi-conservative amino acid substitution, which may impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in some properties. However, this substitution occurs at a position that is not conserved. In silico analysis predicts this variant likely does not alter the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

Variant summary: ELP1 c.947C>T (p.Pro316Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00022 in 282846 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in ELP1 causing Familial Dysautonomia (0.00022 vs 0.0018), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.947C>T in individuals affected with Familial Dysautonomia and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: five classified the variant as uncertain significance and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
