Genes affected

SETX (HGNC:445): (senataxin) This gene encodes a protein named for its homology to the Sen1p protein of fungi which has RNA helicase activity encoded by a domain at the C-terminal end of the protein. The protein encoded by this gene contains a DNA/RNA helicase domain at its C-terminal end which suggests that it may be involved in both DNA and RNA processing. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ataxia-ocular apraxia-2 (AOA2) and an autosomal dominant form of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS4). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The c.343_345delCTT variant (also known as p.L115del) is located in coding exon 2 of the SETX gene. This variant results from an in-frame CTT deletion at nucleotide positions 343 to 345. This results in the in-frame deletion of a leucine at codon 115. This alteration was reported as homozygous in two siblings diagnosed with ataxia and sensory neuropathy. Additional features include mild cognitive impairment, distal muscular atrophy, areflexia, nystagmus, myotonic phenomenon at the hands, impairment of vibration and position sense, and resting tremor of the head and upper left limb (Airoldi G et al. Neurogenetics, 2010 Feb;11:91-100). Functional analysis demonstrated that the lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from an affected patient showed sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. SKNBE cells were transfected with constructs expressing this alteration and showed increased cell death (Airoldi G et al. Neurogenetics, 2010 Feb;11:91-100). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy 2 (SCAN2) when present along with a second pathogenic variant on the other allele; however, its clinical significance for autosomal dominant juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 4 (ALS4) is unclear. -
