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.

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu3773Trpfs*18) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). This variant is present in population databases (rs747272625, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Alstrom syndrome (PMID: 17594715). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550797). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.(Glu3771Trpfs*18) variant has been reported in association with Alstrom syndrome (Marshall 2015). It is a null variant in a gene where loss-of-funcion is a known mechanism of disease. It has been found at extremely low frequency in GnomAD. The variant has been detected in trans with a pathogenic variant, the p.(Thr399Lysfs*11). In summary, the p.(Glu3771Trpfs*18) variant meets the ACMG Guidelines (Richards 2015) criteria to be classified as pathogenic (PVS1, PM2, PM3 and PP5). -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.11316_11319delAGAG (p.E3773Wfs*18) alteration, located in exon 16 (coding exon 16) of the ALMS1 gene, consists of a deletion of 4 nucleotides from position 11316 to 11319, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 18 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, this alteration has an overall frequency of <0.01% (6/247766) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.01% (6/112268) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported homozygous or compound heterozygous in multiple unrelated patients with Alstrom syndrome (Marshall, 2007). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
