Genes affected

ABCG8 (HGNC:13887): (ATP binding cassette subfamily G member 8) The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the White subfamily. The protein encoded by this gene functions to exclude non-cholesterol sterol entry at the intestinal level, promote excretion of cholesterol and sterols into bile, and to facilitate transport of sterols back into the intestinal lumen. It is expressed in a tissue-specific manner in the liver, intestine, and gallbladder. This gene is tandemly arrayed on chromosome 2, in a head-to-head orientation with family member ABCG5. Mutations in this gene may contribute to sterol accumulation and atherosclerosis, and have been observed in patients with sitosterolemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.4, offset of -46, new splice context is: agctcttcacctgtgagcAGgtg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-43871975-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-43871975-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 517640.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.965-1G>A (NM_022437.2) variant in ABCG8 has been previously reported in 1 family with sitosterolemia (Bardawill 2017) and was absent from large population studies. This variant occurs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice co nsensus sequence and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnorm al or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the ABCG8 gene has been asso ciated with sitosterolemia. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish a null effect on the protein, the c.965-1G>A variant in the ABCG8 gene is likely pathogenic for sitosterolemia in an autosomal recessive man ner based on its predicted impact on the protein.
