Genes affected
CTNS (HGNC:2518): (cystinosin, lysosomal cystine transporter) This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane domain protein that functions to transport cystine out of lysosomes. Its activity is driven by the H+ electrochemical gradient of the lysosomal membrane. Mutations in this gene cause cystinosis, a lysosomal storage disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
CTNS-AS1 (HGNC:56090): (CTNS antisense RNA 1)

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionFeb 23, 2023The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Functional studies provide supporting evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 19852576). In silico tools predict the variant to alter splicing and produce an abnormal transcript (SpliceAI: 0.80). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 23640116 / 19852576‚Äö21786142). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic without evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000553330). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 07, 2021For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site, which introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 19852576). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553330). This variant has been observed in individuals with cystinosis (PMID: 19852576, 21786142). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects codon 227 of the CTNS mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CTNS protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
