Genes affected

CERS3 (HGNC:23752): (ceramide synthase 3) This gene is a member of the ceramide synthase family of genes. The ceramide synthase enzymes regulate sphingolipid synthesis by catalyzing the formation of ceramides from sphingoid base and acyl-coA substrates. This family member is involved in the synthesis of ceramides with ultra-long-chain acyl moieties (ULC-Cers), important to the epidermis in its role in creating a protective barrier from the environment. The protein encoded by this gene has also been implicated in modification of the lipid structures required for spermatogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with male fertility defects, and epidermal defects, including ichthyosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.07986111 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 15-100476085-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-100476085-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 55838.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr15-100476085-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
