Description

The c.183_184delTAinsCT (p.K62*) alteration, located in exon 2 (coding exon 2) of the SBDS gene, consists of an in-frame deletion of TA and insertion of CT at nucleotide positions 183 to 184. This changes the amino acid at position 62 from a lysine (K) to a stop codon. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This mutation was reported in 82 of 250 disease alleles in a cohort of individuals with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. In eight of the families studied, this mutation was found as part of a complex allele, c.[183_184delTAinsCT;258+2T>C], in trans with an isolated copy of c.258+2T>C (Boocock, 2003). In another study, this alteration was described compound heterozygous with c.258+2T>C in five individuals who presented with pancreatic insufficiency and failure to thrive; three of those individuals also had persistent neutropenia (Kawakami, 2005). A functional study in yeast cells found that this mutation resulted in complete loss of function (Shammas, 2005). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
