Genes affected

SMN1 (HGNC:11117): (survival of motor neuron 1, telomeric) This gene is part of a 500 kb inverted duplication on chromosome 5q13. This duplicated region contains at least four genes and repetitive elements which make it prone to rearrangements and deletions. The repetitiveness and complexity of the sequence have also caused difficulty in determining the organization of this genomic region. The telomeric and centromeric copies of this gene are nearly identical and encode the same protein. However, mutations in this gene, the telomeric copy, are associated with spinal muscular atrophy; mutations in the centromeric copy do not lead to disease. The centromeric copy may be a modifier of disease caused by mutation in the telomeric copy. The critical sequence difference between the two genes is a single nucleotide in exon 7, which is thought to be an exon splice enhancer. Note that the nine exons of both the telomeric and centromeric copies are designated historically as exon 1, 2a, 2b, and 3-8. It is thought that gene conversion events may involve the two genes, leading to varying copy numbers of each gene. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Within the nucleus, the protein localizes to subnuclear bodies called gems which are found near coiled bodies containing high concentrations of small ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs). This protein forms heteromeric complexes with proteins such as SIP1 and GEMIN4, and also interacts with several proteins known to be involved in the biogenesis of snRNPs, such as hnRNP U protein and the small nucleolar RNA binding protein. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 29 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PP5: Variant 5-70925146-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-70925146-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2684388.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr5-70925146-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant has been identified in multiple unrelated individuals with clinical features associated with this gene. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant may result in abnormal RNA splicing (PMID: 35248528). Frequency data for this variant in the general population cannot be distinguished from that of the SMN2 gene, and is therefore uninformative in assessment of variant pathogenicity (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)). -
