Genes affected

SPTLC1 (HGNC:11277): (serine palmitoyltransferase long chain base subunit 1) This gene encodes a member of the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. The encoded protein is the long chain base subunit 1 of serine palmitoyltransferase. Serine palmitoyltransferase converts L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to 3-oxosphinganine with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and is the key enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Mutations in this gene were identified in patients with hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. Pseudogenes of this gene have been defined on chromosomes 1, 6, 10, and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

SPTLC1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population mid. gnomad4_exome allele frequency = 0.0000171 (25/1461756) while in subpopulation MID AF= 0.000173 (1/5768). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00008. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4_exome. There are 16 alleles in male gnomad4_exome subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 25 AD gene.

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 576860). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with SPTLC1-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs779810169, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 158 of the SPTLC1 protein (p.Thr158Ser). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt SPTLC1 protein function. 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. -
