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]

HNRNPUL2-BSCL2 (HGNC:49189): (HNRNPUL2-BSCL2 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring HNRNPUL2 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein U-like 2) and BSCL2 (Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy 2 (seipin)) genes on chromosome 11. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 11-62694660-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-62694660-C-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 143859.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
