Genes affected

CTNS (HGNC:2518): (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter) This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.84).
• BP6: Variant 17-3659990-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr17-3659990-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Benign]. Clinvar id is 257158.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr17-3659990-G-A is described in Lovd as [Benign].
• BA1: GnomAd4 highest subpopulation (AFR) allele frequency at 95% confidence interval = 0.0684 is higher than 0.05.

Variant summary: The CTNS c.970+15G>A variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide at a position not widely known to affect gene splicing. Mutation taster predicts a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 2496/120078 control chromosomes (45 homozygotes) from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0207865, which is approximately 8 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic CTNS variant (0.0025), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. It is more common in African subpopulation with an allele frequency of 6.5% (674/10238 chromosomes). This variant was found in a cystinosis patient who carried c.140+1G>T in homozygous state, further supporting benign outcome of the variant of interest. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as likely benign/benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -
