Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000190627 SCV000245665 uncertain significance Netherton syndrome 2014-11-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Val938CysfsX7 variant in SPINK5 has not been previously reported in individuals with disease and data from large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this variant. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which would alter the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 938 and lead to a premature termination codon 7 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. While complete loss of SPINK5 function has been previously described in many individuals with Netherton syndrome (Sprecher 2001), all previously described loss-of-function variants reside upstream of this variant. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty.
