Genes affected

PIGN (HGNC:8967): (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class N) This gene encodes a protein that is involved 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 protein is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum and transfers phosphoethanolamine (EtNP) to the first mannose of the GPI anchor. Two alternatively spliced variants, which encode an identical isoform, have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This PIGN variant (rs779636222) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD: 36/276898 total alleles; 0.013%; no homozygotes) and has an entry in ClinVar. It has been reported in one individual with multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome in a compound heterozygous state with another pathogenic variant. This 8-bp deletion (ACAAACCT) covers two coding nucleotides and six intronic nucleotides, including the canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause aberrant pre-mRNA splicing. We consider c.548_549+6del to be pathogenic for autosomal recessive multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome-1. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 7 (c.548_549+6del) of the PIGN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PIGN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 24253414, 27038415). This variant is present in population databases (rs779636222, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome (PMID: 26394714, 30293990, 30609409). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264637). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.548_549+6delAGGTTTGT pathogenic mutation, located at the 3' end of coding exon 4 in the PIGN gene, results from a deletion of 2 coding nucleotides and 6 intronic nucleotides at positions c.548 to c.549+6, including the canonical donor site. In one study, this mutation was detected in an individual with multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome who also carried a second PIGN alteration in trans (a gross deletion encompassing multiple exons) (Fleming, L. 2016. Am. J. Med. Genet. A 2016 Jan;170A(1):77-86). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.548_549+6delAGGTTTGT variant in PIGN has been reported in one patient with multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome in a compound heteroz ygous state (Fleming 2016) and has been identified in 13/120594 chromosomes by t he Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). Although this variant has been seen in the general population, its frequency is low enou gh to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This deletion encompasse s the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is predict ed to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the PIGN gene has been associated with multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome. In summary, although additional studies a re required to fully establish its clinical significance, the c.548_549+6del var iant in PIGN is likely pathogenic. -
