Genes affected

SACS (HGNC:10519): (sacsin molecular chaperone) This gene encodes the sacsin protein, which includes a UbL domain at the N-terminus, a DnaJ domain, and a HEPN domain at the C-terminus. The gene is highly expressed in the central nervous system, also found in skin, skeletal muscles and at low levels in the pancreas. This gene includes a very large exon spanning more than 12.8 kb. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by early-onset cerebellar ataxia with spasticity and peripheral neuropathy. The authors of a publication on the effects of siRNA-mediated sacsin knockdown concluded that sacsin protects against mutant ataxin-1 and suggest that "the large multi-domain sacsin protein is able to recruit Hsp70 chaperone action and has the potential to regulate the effects of other ataxia proteins" (Parfitt et al., PubMed: 19208651). A pseudogene associated with this gene is located on chromosome 11. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 18, 2021	Variant summary: SACS c.10466_10467delCT (p.Ser3489LeufsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 245712 control chromosomes. c.10466_10467delCT has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in at-least one individual affected with Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia Of Charlevoix-Saguenay and has been subsequently cited by others (example Desserre_2011, Criscuolo_2015). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the SACS protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asn4549Asp) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15156359, 21507954). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188710). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with SACS-related conditions (PMID: 21597885). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser3489Leufs*2) in the SACS gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1091 amino acid(s) of the SACS protein. -
