Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_003560.4(PLA2G6):c.1674del(p.Leu560TrpfsTer5) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000233 in 1,461,564 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G558G) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 22-38120826-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr22-38120826-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 159742.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr22-38120826-GC-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The p.Leu560fs variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 3 individuals, in the compound heterozygous state, with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 27378808, 31196701, 24745848) and has been identified in 0.0009% (1/113656) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs587784336). 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#: 159742) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 560 and leads to a premature termination codon 5 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 autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration.
