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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 2-32128483-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-32128483-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 5666.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-32128483-A-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 21, 2023	This variant has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 11309678). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (PMID: 11309678). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 5666). This variant is also known as IVS9+4A>G. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 9 of the SPAST gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SPAST protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
