Genes affected
SQSTM1 (HGNC:11280): (sequestosome 1) This gene encodes a multifunctional protein that binds ubiquitin and regulates activation of the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kB) signaling pathway. The protein functions as a scaffolding/adaptor protein in concert with TNF receptor-associated factor 6 to mediate activation of NF-kB in response to upstream signals. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding either the same or different isoforms have been identified for this gene. Mutations in this gene result in sporadic and familial Paget disease of bone. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu324Asnfs*54) in the SQSTM1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 117 amino acid(s) of the SQSTM1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs758377403, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SQSTM1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 542159). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The splice acceptor c.970del variant has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The c.970del variant is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes and has allele frequency of 0.002% in gnomAD database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Uncertain Significance. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
