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]

Charlevoix-Saguenay spastic ataxia Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterSep 03, 2021The c.1033C>T (p.Arg345Trp) variant identified in the SACS gene substitutes a well conserved Arginine for Tryptophan at amino acid 345/4580 (exon 8/10). This variant is found with low frequency in gnomAD(v3.1.1)(16 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 1.05e-5) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in that database. In silico algorithms predict this variant to be Damaging (SIFT; score:0.001) and Pathogenic (REVEL;score:0.6349) to the function of the canonical transcript. This variant is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance in ClinVar (VarID:411689), and to our current knowledge has not been reported in affected individuals in the literature. The p.Arg345 residue is not within a mapped domain of SACS (UniProtKB:Q9NZJ4). Given the lack of compelling evidence for its pathogenicity, the c.1033C>T (p.Arg345Trp) variant identified in the SACS gene is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 26, 2023The c.1033C>T (p.R345W) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the SACS gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1033, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 345 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.006% (15/251392) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.02% (6/30612) of South Asian alleles. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
