Genes affected
SELENON (HGNC:15999): (selenoprotein N) This gene encodes a glycoprotein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress, and in the regulation of redox-related calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with early onset muscle disorders, referred to as SEPN1-related myopathy. SEPN1-related myopathy consists of 4 autosomal recessive disorders, originally thought to be separate entities: rigid spine muscular dystrophy (RSMD1), the classical form of multiminicore disease, desmin related myopathy with Mallory-body like inclusions, and congenital fiber-type disproportion (CFTD). This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. A second stop-codon redefinition element (SRE) adjacent to the UGA codon has been identified in this gene (PMID:15791204). SRE is a phylogenetically conserved stem-loop structure that stimulates readthrough at the UGA codon, and augments the Sec insertion efficiency by SECIS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:curation

The p.Gln459Ter variant in SELENON has not been previously reported in the literature in individuals with SELENON-RM but has been identified in 0.002% (2/111632) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs760063405). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 575921) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Invitae. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 459 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the SELENON gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive SELENON-RM. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive SELENON-RM. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2 (Richards 2015). -

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

Loss-of-function variants in SELENON are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21131290, 21670436). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with SELENON-related disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs760063405, ExAC 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln459*) in the SELENON gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
