Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_003560.4(PLA2G6):c.1351delC(p.Leu451TyrfsTer20) variant causes a frameshift, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000868 in 1,612,592 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy Pathogenic:2
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu451Tyrfs*20) in the PLA2G6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PLA2G6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16783378, 18570303, 18799783, 22213678). This variant is present in population databases (rs587784329, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with PLA2G6-related conditions (PMID: 16783378, 24628589, 28714225). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159730). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

not provided Pathogenic:1
Observed in apparent homozygous state in patients in published literature (PMID: 24628589, 16783378) with INAD and not observed in homozygous state in controls; Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28714225, 16783378, 31589614, 24628589) -

PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration Pathogenic:1
The p.Leu451fs variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 2 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 16783378, 24628589), and has been identified in 0.0009% (1/112278) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs587784329). 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#: 159730) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Invitae, GeneDx, and Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago). Of the 2 affected individuals, both were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Leu451fs variant is pathogenic (PMID: 16783378, 24628589). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 451 and leads to a premature termination codon 20 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the PLA2G6 gene is an established disease mechanism in PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM3 (Richards 2015). -
