Genes affected
PIGQ (HGNC:14135): (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class Q) This gene is involved in the first step in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis. The GPI-anchor is a glycolipid found on many blood cells and serves to anchor proteins to the cell surface. This gene encodes a N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase component that is part of the complex that catalyzes transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) from UDP-GlcNAc to phosphatidylinositol (PI). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

This sequence change falls in intron 6 of the PIGQ gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PIGQ protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs778074464, gnomAD 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PIGQ-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577487). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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.
