Description
The p.Gly445GlufsX40 variant in SLC2A10 has been reported in the homozygous or compound heterozygous state in at least 8 individuals with arterial tortuosity syndrome (1 homozygote, 7 compound heterozygotes, the majority of whom had a second disease causing variant in SLC210A; Coucke 2006 PMID: 16550171, Callewaert 2008 PMID: 17935213, Ritelli 2009 PMID: 19781076, Hardin 2018 PMID: 28726533). This variant segregated with disease in 7 affected relatives from 3 families (Coucke 2006 PMID: 16550171, Callewaert 2008 PMID: 17935213). This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 4587) and has been identified 0.019% (13/68030) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v3.1.2), which is consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. In vitro functional studies using of patient cells demonstrate a lack of protein in homozygous patients and about half of wild type expression in heterozygotes (Coucke 2006 PMID: 16550171), suggesting that this variant affects protein function. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 445 and leads to a premature termination codon 40 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Biallelic loss of function of the SLC2A10 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive arterial tortuosity syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive arterial tortuosity syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_VeryStrong, PP1_Strong, PS3_Supporting.
