Invitae | RCV001032525 | SCV001195832 | pathogenic | Hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 | 2019-10-21 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exons 1 through 4 of the SPAST gene, which includes the initiator codon. The 5' end of this event is unknown as it extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. The 3' boundary is likely confined to intron 4 of the SPAST gene. Truncating variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20562464, 17035675). A similar deletion encompassing exons 1 through 4 of the SPAST gene has been reported to segregate with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) in a single family. Of the five family members identified with the deletion, four displayed clinical symptoms of HSP (PMID: 24690193). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
