Combined deficiency of sialidase AND beta galactosidase Pathogenic:3
The p.Phe191ProfsX39 variant in CTSA has been reported in 1 individual (compound heterozygous) with clinical features of galactosialidosis-late infantile type (Richard 1998) and was absent from large population studies. However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 191 and leads to a premature termination codon 39 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In vitro functional studies support that the p.Phe191ProfsX39 variant impacts protein function (Richard 1998). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for galactosialidosis in an autosomal recessive manner based upon case studies, absence from controls and functional evidence. -
Variant summary: CTSA c.517_518delTT/p.Phe173ProfsX39 (also known as c.569_570delTT) 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 was absent in 251484 control chromosomes. c.517_518delTT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Galactosialidosis (e.g. Richard_1998, Okulu_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity (Richard_1998). No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe191Profs*39) in the CTSA gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CTSA are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15110321, 23915561). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with galactosialidosis (PMID: 9603439). This variant is also known as c517delTT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 387). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
