Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy Pathogenic:2
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 481 of the PLA2G6 protein (p.Leu481Gln). 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 PLA2G6-related conditions (PMID: 16783378, 24870368, 25164370). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159731). 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 with a positive predictive value of 80%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense variant In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript [SpliceAI: 0.47 (>=0.2, moderate evidence for spliceogenicity)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported to be associated with TULP1 related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV000143126 /PMID: 25324289 /3billion dataset).The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 25324289). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration Pathogenic:1
The p.Leu481Gln variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 8 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 18359254, Silva 2014, Pinto 2010, 16783378, Lissens 2008, 24870368, 25164370), and has been identified in 0.004% (1/25880) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs587784330). 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#: 159731) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago) and Institute of Human Genetics (Klinikum rechts der Isar). Of the 8 affected individuals, 2 of those were homozygotes, and 2 were compound heterozygotes that carried reported pathogenic variants with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.Leu481Gln variant is pathogenic. (Variant ID: 6195; PMID: 18359254, 25164370). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. 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, PM2_supporting, PM3_strong (Richards 2015). -
