Genes affected

SPAST (HGNC:11233): (spastin) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) protein family. Members of this protein family share an ATPase domain and have roles in diverse cellular processes including membrane trafficking, intracellular motility, organelle biogenesis, protein folding, and proteolysis. The use of alternative translational initiation sites in this gene results in a single transcript variant that can produce isoforms that differ in the length of their N-terminus and which thereby differ in the efficiency of their export from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In addition, alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode isoforms that differ in other protein regions as well. One isoform of this gene has been shown to be a microtubule-severing enzyme that regulates microtubule abundance, mobility, and plus-end distribution. Mutations in this gene cause the most frequent form of autosomal dominant spastic paraplegia 4. [provided by RefSeq, May 2018]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.4, offset of -23, new splice context is: aaaatgtatgtatttttaAGtgc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-32147216-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-32147216-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5661.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is expected to severely impact normal RNA splicing, and consequently, protein structure and/or function. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. In some published literature, this variant is referred to as c.1813-2A>G. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5661). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 10610178). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 15 of the SPAST gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20932283). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
