Variant summary

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

The NM_001378454.1(ALMS1):c.2726C>G(p.Ser909Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Genes affected

ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

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 2-73449253-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-73449253-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 191113.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr2-73449253-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 11, 2022	Reported as homozygous in two siblings of Saudi ancestry with Alstrom syndrome who were also homozygous for a missense variant in ALMS1; familial studies suggest the two variants may be present on the same allele (in cis) in each parent (Kamal et al., 2020); Nonsense 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 significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as p.(S909*) and p.(S908*) using alternate nomenclature; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: Gosadi2021, 35112413, 30488743, 33981653, 31889847) -
