Genes affected
ALMS1 (HGNC:428): (ALMS1 centrosome and basal body associated protein) This gene encodes a protein containing a large tandem-repeat domain as well as additional low complexity regions. The encoded protein functions in microtubule organization, particularly in the formation and maintanance of cilia. Mutations in this gene cause Alstrom syndrome. There is a pseudogene for this gene located adjacent in the same region of chromosome 2. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length nature has not been determined.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 21, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 374506). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Alstrom syndrome (PMID: 24462884). This variant is present in population databases (rs777476179, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg579Glyfs*17) in the ALMS1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ALMS1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 17594715). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 17, 2020The c.1735delA variant, located in coding exon 8 of the ALMS1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1735, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R579Gfs*17). This variant has been reported in association with Alstrom syndrome in individuals with disease features and a second ALMS1 mutation (Paisey RB et al. Eur J Med Genet, 2014 Feb;57:71-5; Paisey RB et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab., 2015 Aug;100:E1116-24). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
