Genes affected

ALS2 (HGNC:443): (alsin Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor ALS2) The protein encoded by this gene contains an ATS1/RCC1-like domain, a RhoGEF domain, and a vacuolar protein sorting 9 (VPS9) domain, all of which are guanine-nucleotide exchange factors that activate members of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. The protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the small GTPase RAB5. The protein localizes with RAB5 on early endosomal compartments, and functions as a modulator for endosomal dynamics. Mutations in this gene result in several forms of juvenile lateral sclerosis and infantile-onset ascending spastic paralysis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 393199). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of leukodystrophy (PMID: 27159321). This variant is present in population databases (rs767350733, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1139*) in the ALS2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALS2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11586298, 24315819). -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The R1139X variant in the ALS2 gene has been reported previously in the compound heterozygous state, opposite of a second ALS2 variant, in two siblings with progressive spastic paraplegia, macrocephaly, speech and language delays, and abnormal findings on brain MRI (Vanderver et al., 2016). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The R1139X variant was not observed in approximately 6000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Therefore, we interpret R1139X as a likely pathogenic variant. -
