Genes affected
SURF1 (HGNC:11474): (SURF1 cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor) This gene encodes a protein localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and thought to be involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome c oxidase complex. The protein is a member of the SURF1 family, which includes the related yeast protein SHY1 and rickettsial protein RP733. The gene is located in the surfeit gene cluster, a group of very tightly linked genes that do not share sequence similarity, where it shares a bidirectional promoter with SURF2 on the opposite strand. Defects in this gene are a cause of Leigh syndrome, a severe neurological disorder that is commonly associated with systemic cytochrome c oxidase deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The frameshift c.758_759del(p.Thr253SerfsTer38) variant has been reported previously in compound heterozygous state in an individual affected with Mitochondrial disorders (Invernizzi F, et. al., 2012). The variant is reported with an allele frequency of 0.001% in the gnomAD exomes database and is novel (not in any individuals) in 1000 Genomes database. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Threonine 253, changes this amino acid to Serine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 38 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Thr253SerfsTer38. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.758_759delCA;p.(Thr253Serfs*38) is a null frameshift variant (NMD) in the SURF1 gene and predicts alteration of the nonsense-mediate decay - NMD is present in a relevant exon to the transcript - PVS1. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 372717; PMID: 24462369; PMID: 22310368; PMID: 21611066) - PS4. The variant is present at low allele frequencies population databases (rs782349178 – gnomAD 0.0001582%; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2_supporting. The p.(Thr253Serfs*38) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 24462369; PMID: 22310368; PMID: 21611066) - PM3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr253Serfs*38) in the SURF1 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 48 amino acid(s) of the SURF1 protein. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Leigh syndrome (PMID: 10443880). This variant disrupts a region of the SURF1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg264Serfs*27) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23829769, 24462369). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: SURF1 c.758_759delCA variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent SURF1 protein, which is a commonly known mechanism for Leigh Syndrome. Mutation Taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant, and functional studies from patient fibroblasts (homozygous and compound heterozygous) with this variant show severely impaired complex IV activity. The variant of interest was found in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 3/62366 (1/20790), which does not exceed the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic SURF1 variant of 1/565. The variant of interest has been reported in multiple Leigh Syndrome patients in the literature. Taken together, this is a disease variant and was classified as pathogenic. -
