Kids Neuroscience Centre, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network RCV001726502 SCV001571547 likely pathogenic Friedreich ataxia 1 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Detected two splicing events induced by the c.166-5T>G variant: (1) Exon 2 skipping (r.166_263del). This event induces a frameshift and encodes a premature termination codon (p.(Ser56Leufs*4)). These transcripts are predicted to be targeted by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Any misspliced FXN transcripts that escape NMD encode FXN protein lacking 155 amino acids from the C-terminus, including the frataxin-like domain, (2) In-frame exon 2 and exon 3 skipping (r.166_384del). This event removes 73 amino acids from FXN (p.(Ser57_Ser129del)), including 39 residues from the frataxin-like domain. Intron-1 retention is an event also observed in both the proband and controls. Intron 1 retention (r.165_166ins[165+1_166-1]) induces a frameshift and encodes a premature termination codon (p.(Ser56Valfs*133)). These transcripts are predicted to be targeted by NMD. Any mis-spliced FXN transcripts that escape NMD encode FXN protein lacking 155 amino acids from the C-terminus, including the frataxin-like domain.
