Genes affected
HGSNAT (HGNC:26527): (heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase) This gene encodes a lysosomal acetyltransferase, which is one of several enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparin sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sanfilippo syndrome C, one type of the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccaridosis III, which results from impaired degradation of heparan sulfate.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Nov 10, 2021NM_152419.2(HGSNAT):c.234+1G>A is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC. c.234+1G>A has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 31228227, 28101780, 25491247, 17033958, 20825431, 23301227, 18024218, 17397050, 27243974, 19823584). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 25491247, 20825431). c.234+1G>A has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: AMR 0.02%). In summary, NM_152419.2(HGSNAT):c.234+1G>A is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 2 of the HGSNAT gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs483352908, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC (PMID: 17033958, 18024218, 19823584, 20825431, 23301227). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It is commonly reported in individuals of Spanish and Moroccan ancestry (PMID: 18024218, 20825431). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30832). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 2 and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 20825431). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Sanfilippo syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJan 17, 2019Variant summary: HGSNAT c.234+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Five predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that supports these predictions (Matos_2014). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.7e-05 in 232180 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.234+1G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIC (Sanfilippo Syndrome C)(Ruijter_2008, Matos_2014), which homozygous patients were found to have a significant decrease in enzyme activity (Ruijter_2008). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Two ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
