NM_000173.7(GP1BA):c.1454dup is a frameshift variant (p.Ser486IlefsTer12), which has been reported in multiple probands with Bernard-Soulier syndrome (PMIDs:11776304, 16916536, 23402648, 24934643, 9241731). The Grpmax filtering allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 0.000004440 (based on 2/74766) in the African/African American population, which does not meet PM2_supporting or BS1. The frameshift variant may cause loss of function of the protein, however it is predicted to escape nonsense mediated decay and remove 24% of the protein (PVS1_Strong). Case 2 of PMID: 9241731 is compound heterozygous with c.1480del (classified Pathogenic by the PD-VCEP) confirmed in trans and at least two additional patients are homozygous for the variant (PM3_strong). At least one patient (Proband in PMID:11776304) with this variant had aggregation absent for ristocetin but present for all other agonists and flow cytometry with less than 10% expression of GPIBa (PP4). The variant segregated with Bernard-Soulier syndrome in this patient plus an affected sibling, both compound heterozygous for this variant and Cys225Ser (PP1). Finally, surface expression of GP1Balpha measured by flow cytometry from transient transfection of the c.1454dup variant in CHO cells stably co-expressing the GPIbbeta and GPIX subunits showed decreased expression at 0% (<25%) WT levels, indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID:11776304; PS3_supporting). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for autosomal recessive Bernard-Soulier syndrome based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen PD VCEP: PP1, PM3_strong, PS3_supporting, PVS1_strong, PP4, PM2_supporting.
