Genes affected

SELENON (HGNC:15999): (selenoprotein N) This gene encodes a glycoprotein that is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. It plays an important role in cell protection against oxidative stress, and in the regulation of redox-related calcium homeostasis. Mutations in this gene are associated with early onset muscle disorders, referred to as SEPN1-related myopathy. SEPN1-related myopathy consists of 4 autosomal recessive disorders, originally thought to be separate entities: rigid spine muscular dystrophy (RSMD1), the classical form of multiminicore disease, desmin related myopathy with Mallory-body like inclusions, and congenital fiber-type disproportion (CFTD). This protein is a selenoprotein, containing the rare amino acid selenocysteine (Sec). Sec is encoded by the UGA codon, which normally signals translation termination. The 3' UTRs of selenoprotein mRNAs contain a conserved stem-loop structure, designated the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element, that is necessary for the recognition of UGA as a Sec codon, rather than as a stop signal. A second stop-codon redefinition element (SRE) adjacent to the UGA codon has been identified in this gene (PMID:15791204). SRE is a phylogenetically conserved stem-loop structure that stimulates readthrough at the UGA codon, and augments the Sec insertion efficiency by SECIS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: curation

The p.His293Arg variant in SELENON has been reported in 4 individuals with SELENON-RM (PMID: 11528383, 12192640, 12207930, 16365872), segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 2 families (PMID: 11528383, 12192640), and has been identified in 0.002% (2/113176) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs776738184). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 297025) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Illumina Laboratory Services (Illumina). Of the 4 affected individuals, 1 was a homozygote and 1 was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported pathogenic variant with unknown phase, which increases the likelihood that the p.His293Arg variant is pathogenic (PMID: 12207930, 11528383; Clinvar ID: 4492). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive SELENON-RM. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM3, PP1, PP3 (Richards 2015). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SELENON c.878A>G (p.His293Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 249310 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.878A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple compound heterozygous or homozygous individuals affected with SELENON-related myopathy (e.g. Moghadaszadeh_2001, Mercuri_2002, Ferreiro_2002, Clark_2006, Villar-Quiles_2020). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 11528383, 12207930, 12192640, 16365872, 32796131). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 297025). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 297025). This missense change has been observed in individuals with congenital myopathy (PMID: 11528383, 12192640, 12207930). This variant is present in population databases (rs776738184, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 293 of the SELENON protein (p.His293Arg). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The SEPN1 c.878A>G (p.His293Arg) missense variant has been reported in three studies in which it is found in five individuals, including one homozygote and two compound heterozygotes with rigid spine muscular dystrophy, and two compound heterozygotes with multiminicore disease (Moghadaszadeh et al. 2001; Ferreiro et al. 2002; Mercuri et al. 2002). The variant was also identified in a heterozygous state in two unaffected parents but was absent from 200 control chromosomes. The p.His293Arg variant is reported at a frequency of 0.00003 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium, though this is based on only two alleles in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Based on the evidence, the p.His293Arg variant is classified as likely pathogenic for SEPN1-related disorders. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
