Genes affected

ALDH3A2 (HGNC:403): (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member A2) Aldehyde dehydrogenase isozymes are thought to play a major role in the detoxification of aldehydes generated by alcohol metabolism and lipid peroxidation. This gene product catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acid. Mutations in the gene cause Sjogren-Larsson syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 15, 2019	The c.1297_1298delGA variant in the ALDH3A2 gene has been reported previously as the most common pathogenic variant observed among Sjögren-Larsson syndrome patients of European heritage (Tsukamoto et al., 1997; Ijlst et al., 1999; Rizzo et al., 2005). This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamic acid 433, changes this amino acid to an Arginine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 3 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu433ArgfsX3. The c.1297_1298delGA variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and is associated with <1% residual enzyme activity (Rizzo et al., 2005). This variant is observed in 9/126,722 alleles (0.007%) from individuals of non-Finnish European background, with no homozygous control individuals reported, in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.1297_1298delGA as a pathogenic variant. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 19, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu433Argfs*3) in the ALDH3A2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALDH3A2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10577908, 10854114). This variant is present in population databases (rs756844187, gnomAD 0.008%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Sjogren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) (PMID: 9250352, 16996289, 20049467). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1641). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 11, 2018	Variant summary: ALDH3A2 c.1297_1298delGA (p.Glu433ArgfsX3) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.3e-05 in 277238 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1297_1298delGA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (Gloerich_2006, Rizzo_2010) and patients were found to have significantly reduced FADH activity (<10%; Gloerich_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Two ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
