Genes affected
PIGN (HGNC:8967): (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class N) This gene encodes a protein that is involved in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor. Two alternatively spliced variants, which encode an identical isoform, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 of the PIGN gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs376355678, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of PIGN-related conditions (PMID: 27038415). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264640). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 18, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 27038415). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
