Genes affected

SLC38A8 (HGNC:32434): (solute carrier family 38 member 8) This gene encodes a putative sodium-dependent amino-acid/proton antiporter. The protein has eleven transmembrane domains, an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminal tail. The protein is a member of the SLC38 sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter family of proteins. Mutations in this gene result in foveal hypoplasia with or without optic nerve misrouting and/or anterior segment dysgenesis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

Variant summary: SLC38A8 c.95T>G (p.Ile32Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251200 control chromosomes. c.95T>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Foveal Hypoplasia, Optic Nerve Decussation Defect, Anterior Segment Dysgenesis Syndrome (example: Perez_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24045842). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125442). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 32 of the SLC38A8 protein (p.Ile32Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777253, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with foveal hypoplasia (PMID: 24045842, 32032626, 33594928). It is commonly reported in individuals of Indian Jewish ancestry (PMID: 24045842, 35029636). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125442). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SLC38A8 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
