Genes affected

ASXL1 (HGNC:18318): (ASXL transcriptional regulator 1) This gene is similar to the Drosophila additional sex combs gene, which encodes a chromatin-binding protein required for normal determination of segment identity in the developing embryo. The protein is a member of the Polycomb group of proteins, which are necessary for the maintenance of stable repression of homeotic and other loci. The protein is thought to disrupt chromatin in localized areas, enhancing transcription of certain genes while repressing the transcription of other genes. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a ligand-dependent co-activator for retinoic acid receptor in cooperation with nuclear receptor coactivator 1. Mutations in this gene are associated with myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant 20-32433739-CTG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-32433739-CTG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 280245.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr20-32433739-CTG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 7 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

The c.1544_1545delTG variant in the ASXL1 gene has been reported previously in the de novo state in an individual with epilepsy (Helbig et al., 2016). The c.1544_1545delTG variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Valine 515, changes this amino acid to a Glycine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 13 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Val515GlyfsX13. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.1544_1545delTG variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret c.1544_1545delTG as a pathogenic variant. -

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: <0.001%). Frameshift: predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000280245). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
