This sequence change falls in intron 81 of the SYNE1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the SYNE1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs606231134, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has been observed in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) (PMID: 17159980, 17503513). It is commonly reported in individuals of French Canadian ancestry (PMID: 17503513). This variant is also known as 306434A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2326). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

SYNE1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The SYNE1 c.15705-12A>G variant is predicted to interfere with splicing. This variant has been reported in French Canadian individuals to be causative for autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 8 (Dupré et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17503513). This variant is predicted to result in aberrant splicing (Alamut Visual Plus v1.6.1). Functional studies also support that this variant results in aberrant splicing and premature protein termination (Gros-Louis et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17159980, referred to as 306434A>G). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy 4, autosomal dominant Pathogenic:1
Variant summary: SYNE1 c.15705-12A>G alters a non-conserved nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. However, several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Three predict the variant abolishes or weakens the canonical 3' acceptor site and four predict the variant creates a new 3' acceptor site. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing through the use of a newly created 3' acceptor site which results in the inclusion of intronic material, creating a premature termination codon (Gros-Louis_2007). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251248 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.15705-12A>G has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in many French-Canadian individuals from multiple families affected with autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia type 1 (ARCA1) (e.g. Gros-Louis_2007, Haj Salem_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17159980, 33397523). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2326). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
