Genes affected

SACS (HGNC:10519): (sacsin molecular chaperone) This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that "the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins" (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 11, 2021	Variant summary: SACS c.8793delA (p.Lys2931AsnfsX22) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250652 control chromosomes. c.8793delA has been reported in the literature as a homozygous mutation in several individuals affected with Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia Of Charlevoix-Saguenay, including 2 affected siblings (e.g. Hara_2005, Shakya_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 17, 2023	Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 1649 amino acids are replaced with 21 different amino acids, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD.; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 15486997, 31429931, 32606540, Sheetal_2021_article, 35499206) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Jun 22, 2023	The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is not expected to cause loss of protein expression through nonsense-mediated decay, however, it disrupts an critical region of the protein, and therefore, is expected to severely disrupt function. This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys2931Asnfs*22) in the SACS gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1649 amino acid(s) of the SACS protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive spastic ataxia (PMID: 15486997). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as 6543delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 449517). This variant disrupts a region of the SACS protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg3636*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18465152). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
