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.

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Benign:3

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 10, 2016	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 19, 2016	Variant summary: The ALMS1 c.2658A>G (p.Val886Val, alternative name c.2664A>G) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a creation of cryptic donor site. This silent variant is 100 nucleotides away from the exon-intron bounday; thus it is unlikely that the cryptic site will be used. In addition, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 310/120600 control chromosomes (3 homozygotes), predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0278175 (272/9778). This frequency is about 12 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic ALMS1 variant (0.0022361), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory has classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as a benign variant. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 21, 2016	p.Val886Val in exon 8 of ALMS1: This variant is not expected to have clinical si gnificance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located withi n the splice consensus sequence, and has been identified in 2.78% (272/9778) of African chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broad institute.org; dbSNP rs76266696). -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
