Genes affected
BSCL2 (HGNC:15832): (BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin) This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 or Berardinelli-Seip syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by a near absence of adipose tissue and severe insulin resistance. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Naturally occurring read-through transcription occurs between this locus and the neighboring locus HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 22, 2018For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BSCL2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11479539). Experimental studies have shown that this nonsense change alters splicing, protein aggregation and oligomerization (PMID: 23564749, 26282322). This variant has been observed to be homozygous or on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from other pathogenic variants in individuals affected with BSCL2-related progressive encephalopathy with or without lipodystrophy (PMID: 23564749, 27452399). This finding is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, and suggests that this variant contributes to disease. This variant is also known as c.985C>T (p.Arg329*) in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 143858). This variant is present in population databases (rs587777606, ExAC 0.001%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg265*) in the BSCL2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
