Genes affected
C19orf12 (HGNC:25443): (chromosome 19 open reading frame 12) This gene encodes a small transmembrane protein. Mutations in this gene are a cause of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation-4 (NBIA4), but the specific function of the encoded protein is unknown. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

The p.Thr11Met variant in C19orf12 has been identified in at least 13 individuals (9 consanguinous homozygous individuals and 2 compound heterozygous individuals) with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) and segregated with disease in at least 5 affected members of 4 families (Hartig 2001 PMID 21981780, Schulte 2013 PMID 23436634, Gore 2016 PMID 27801611, Olgiati 2017 PMID 28347615, Alavi 2020 PMID 31970231). It has also been reported as Pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 31156) and was identified in 0.004% (1/24194) African chromosomes and 0.001% (1/128668) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This variant falls in noncoding regions of the most abundantly expressed C19orf12 transcripts and functional studies assessing its impact are not available. Additionally, computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive NBIA.

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

The variant is classified as pathogenic based on the following evidence: It has been observed in multiple unrelated patients (PS4-Moderate, PMID: 22584950, 23278385, 21981780, 25592411, 23166001, 23436634), and its allele frequency is below 0.05 (PM2), indicating rarity in population databases. The missense variant represents a common mechanism of disease (PP2). Additionally, it has been previously classified as pathogenic in ClinVar, and the patient’s clinical history is consistent with the disease (PP5). Together, this evidence supports the pathogenic classification. -

The C19orf12 c.32C>T (p.Thr11Met) variant, which has been described as one of the most common variants associated with mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration, has been identified in a homozygous state in nine individuals and in a compound heterozygous state in three individuals (Hartig et al. 2011; Deschauer et al. 2012; Dezfouli et al. 2012; Dogu et al. 2013; Tschentscher et al. 2015). The variant was absent from 750 control chromosomes (Hartig et al. 2011) and has not been reported in the 1000 Genomes Project, the Exome Sequencing Project, or the Exome Aggregation Consortium. It has been suggested that the variant may be associated with a later age of onset since it affects only the longer isoform of the protein (Tschentscher et al. 2015). Based on the evidence, the variant is classified as pathogenic for mitochondrial membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

The T11M variant in the C19orf12 gene has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygousstate in multiple individuals with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (Hartig et al., 2011;Schulte et al., 2013). Several individuals with a homozygous T11M variant exhibited early adulthood onsetof dystonia, spasticity, progressive dementia, and psychiatric disorders, including one individual with aParkinson-like phenotype (Tschentscher et al., 2015). The T11M substitution was not observed inapproximately 6100 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI ExomeSequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The T11M variant isa non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as theseresidues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Another missense variant in a nearbyresidue (D18G) has also been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association withneurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (Stenson et al., 2014), supporting the functional importanceof this region of the protein. We interpret T11M as a pathogenic variant. -

Variant summary: C19orf12 c.-2C>T (commonly known as c.32C>T, p.Thr11Met in the literature) is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 249206 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.-2C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals including homozygous individuals of Turkish origin, affected with neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (examples: Tschentscher_2015, Sparber_2021, Dogu_2013). In several families the variant segregated with the disease. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25592411, 33607528, 23278385). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31156). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 11 of the C19orf12 protein (p.Thr11Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs397514477, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (PMID: 21981780, 23278385, 23436634, 25592411). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31156). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
