Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 04, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu941*) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). This variant is present in population databases (rs539612316, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Alstrom syndrome (PMID: 26111748, 27665122). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224801). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 06, 2021The p.L941* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2822T>A), located in coding exon 8 of the ALMS1 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 2822. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This mutation (also referred to as c.2816T>A, p.L939*) has been detected in the homozygous state and in the compound heterozygous state with ALMS1 nonsense and frameshift alleles in individuals with Alstrom syndrome (Marshall JD et al. Hum Mutat, 2015 Jul;36:660-8; Das Bhowmik A et al. Obes Res Clin Pract , 2017 Sep;11:241-246; Baig S et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis, 2020 06;15:139). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
