RCV001213274 | SCV001384900 | pathogenic | Hereditary spastic paraplegia 4 | 2019-09-28 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in SPAST are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20932283). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing (PMID: 25421405). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals affected with hereditary spastic paraplegia (PMID: 27334366, 25421405). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the SPAST gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. |
