Description

The alteration results in a premature stop codon: _x000D_ _x000D_ The c.1001delA (p.N334Tfs*15) alteration, located in exon 8 (coding exon 7) of the ALG12 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 1001, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 15 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The alteration is rare in population databases:_x000D_ _x000D_ Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the ALG12 c.1001delA alteration was observed in <0.01% (13/251142) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.03% (9/34584) in the Latino subpopulation. The alteration has been observed in affected individuals: _x000D_ _x000D_ This alteration was reported with another frameshift alteration, c.117delG (p.Q40Rfs*34), in ALG12 in an infant with rhizomelic short stature, talipes equinovarus, platyspondyly, and joint dislocations (Murali, 2014). Tahata, et al. (2019) reported this alteration in trans with c.671C>T (p.T224M) in two affected brothers who only had cognitive impairment and coagulation defects. They also had a younger brother who died from a severe multisystem disease at age 18 months and was suspected of having congenital disorder of glycosylation. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
