Genes affected

PLA2G6 (HGNC:9039): (phospholipase A2 group VI) The protein encoded by this gene is an A2 phospholipase, a class of enzyme that catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. The encoded protein may play a role in phospholipid remodelling, arachidonic acid release, leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, fas-mediated apoptosis, and transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been described, but the full-length nature of only three of them have been determined to date. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The p.Pro353Leu variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 3 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 16783378, 29859652, 31493945), and has been identified in 0.004% (3/73160) of African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs587784326). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 159726) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago), Juno Genomics (Hangzhou Juno Genomics, Inc) and as a variant of uncertain significance by Invitae. Of the 2 affected individuals, 1 of those was a homozygote and 1 was compound heterozygote that carried a reported pathogenic variant with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.Pro353Leu variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 6195; PMID: 29859652, 31493945). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The phenotype of an individual heterozygous for this variant is highly specific for PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration based on brain iron accumulation consistent with disease (PMID: 29859652). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP3_moderate, PM3, PP4, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -

Variant summary: PLA2G6 c.1058C>T (p.Pro353Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Ankyrin repeat domain (IPR002110) of 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 1.4e-05 in 1543218 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PLA2G6 causing Neurodegeneration With Brain Iron Accumulation (1.4e-05 vs 0.00085), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.1058C>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with childhood-onset ataxia (e.g. Morgan_2006, Gitiaux_2018, Benkirane_2021, Arslan_2020) and early-onset Parkinson's disease (e.g. Chen_2022). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16783378, 29859652, 34234304, 31493945, 35861376). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159726). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 353 of the PLA2G6 protein (p.Pro353Leu). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (PMID: 16783378). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159726). 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 expected to disrupt PLA2G6 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
