Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_025265.4(TSEN2):c.353_354delAG(p.Gln118ArgfsTer4) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000384 in 1,614,052 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
TSEN2 (HGNC:28422): (tRNA splicing endonuclease subunit 2) This gene encodes one of the subunits of the tRNA splicing endonuclease. This endonuclease catalyzes the first step in RNA splicing which is the removal of introns. Mutations in this gene have been associated with pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 2. A pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 4. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

Variant summary: TSEN2 c.353_354delAG (p.Gln118ArgfsX4) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay. Truncations downstream of this position have been reported in affected individuals (e.g. PMIDs: 23562994, 35266334). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251208 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.353_354delAG in individuals affected with Pontocerebellar Hypoplasia, Type 2B and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
