Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard RCV003226058 SCV003922152 likely pathogenic X-linked sideroblastic anemia 1 2023-05-02 criteria provided, single submitter curation The hemizygous c.-15-2188A>G variant in ALAS2 was identified by our study in one individual with sideroblastic anemia. The c.-15-2188A>G variant in ALAS2 has been reported in six individuals with X-linked sideroblastic anemia (PMID: 31642437, PMID: 24166784). This variant was absent from large population studies. The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. The c.-15-2188A>G variant is located in a region of ALAS2 that is essential for gene expression and multiple variants in this region have been reported in association with disease in the literature, suggesting that this variant is in a key functional domain and slightly supports pathogenicity (PMID: 23935018, PMID: 24166784). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the c.-15-2188A>G variant variant may slightly impact protein function (PMID: 24166784). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for X-linked sideroblastic anemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS3_Supporting, PS4, PM1_Supporting, PM2_Supporting (Richards 2015).
