1

When deletion/insertion is 1 nucleotide it is named Frame shift, when larger it is named Indel.

2

Extracted from literature reference. ‘-‘ = unreported.

3

The nomenclature of these HPS1 variants are included in this Table as reported, see reference for each specific variant for more details.

4

At least one of the reported cases with this variant was identified by next generation sequencing.

5

This variant likely leads to a loss of protein translation at the start codon of the longest splice variant of HPS1 (NM_000195.5). It is also predicted to affect splicing, as it is located at the exon 2–3 splice junction (Supplemental Table S2).

6

NC_000010.11:g.10:98435762–98435882 (GRCh38): Genomic 121-bp deletion, including a part of intron 3 and exon 4 (Yousaf et al., 2016).

7

Two unreported siblings from the NIH HPS cohort with this c.97_100delTCAG variant were of English-Irish-Scottish descent.

8

Gray highlight: missense variant. See Supplemental Table S1 for pathogenicity predictions.

9

novel = previously unreported variant detected in the NIH HPS cohort.

10

This novel HPS1 variant was found heterozygous by next generation sequencing in 2 unreported siblings of Mexican descent from the HPS cohort. They were compound heterozygous for c.398+2T>C and c.1294_1298delATGGAinsT. This splice site variant is predicted to delete the splice junction of exon 18/intron 18 (Supplemental Table S2).

11

This variant was reported to result in skipping of exon 5 (Suzuki et al., 2004), and is a frequent variant in Japanese HPS patients (Ito et al., 2005).

12

This variant occurs 3-bp from a splice junction and is predicted to affect the splice site (Supplemental Table S2). No experimental evidence is available (Khan et al., 2016). An alternative intronic splice site, inserting 43-bp of intron 6 sequence may be used as reported for variant c.507G>A occurring in the same codon (Merideth et al., 2009).

13

This (silent) HPS1 variant p.Glu169Glu results in a splice defect (Merideth et al., 2009).

14

This variant is reported to result in use of an alternative intronic splice donor site, 44-bp into intron 6, resulting in a frameshift of the coding region (Natsuga et al., 2005).

15

In vitro studies showed that the HPS1 protein with this missense variant was unstable (Carmona-Rivera et al., 2013).

16

This (missense) HPS1 variant occurs at the 3’ splice junction of exon 10, resulting in a cryptic intronic splice site and an aberrantly spliced mRNA that includes 144-bp intronic sequence, producing 11 novel amino acids followed by a stop codon (Carmona-Rivera, Hess, et al., 2011).

17

This HPS1 frameshift variant occurs with a high prevalence in HPS-1 subjects of various ethnic backgrounds.

18

This variant c.972dupC was reported as an ethnic founder variant in a small isolate in a Swiss village (Oh et al., 1998; Schallreuter et al., 1993)

19

This variant was reported to result in in-frame skipping of exon 12 and removing 56 amino acids from the protein (Vincent et al., 2009).

20

This HPS1 variant was identified in one unreported subject of Canadian-German-Irish-Scottish-Swedish-Ukrainian descent from the NIH HPS cohort. This subject is compound heterozygous for c.1080C>G and c.1189delC.

21

This HPS1 variant was identified in one unreported subject of Ukrainian descent from the NIH HPS cohort. This subject is compound heterozygous for c.1189delC and c.1228A>T.

22

This HPS1 variant was identified homozygous in one unreported subject of German descent from the NIH HPS cohort.

23

This HPS1 variant was identified in one unreported subject of German-English-Irish descent in the NIH HPS cohort. This subject is compound heterozygous for c.1189delC and c.1744–2A>C.

24

This HPS1 variant was found heterozygous in one unreported subject of English-Irish-Scottish in the NIH HPS cohort. This subject is compound heterozygous for c.1189delC and c.1937A>G.

25

This HPS1 16-bp duplication (c.1472_1487dup16-bp) is originates from a genetic isolate in northwest Puerto Rico (Oh et al., 1996; Santiago Borrero et al., 2006).

26

These 2 missense variants occur heterozygous on the same allele in two HPS siblings of our NIH cohort, their cells showed aberrant BLOC-3 assembly (Nazarian et al., 2008). Both missense variants are predicted to be deleterious to protein function (Supplemental Table S3). In vitro studies showed that the HPS1 protein with the p.Val547Leu variant was unstable and prevents proper BLOC-3 formation (Carmona-Rivera et al., 2013). No HPS1 coding/splice site variant was detected on the other allele, but this allele appeared to be subject to non-sense mediated mRNA decay (on cDNA analysis), indicating a likely (intronic) gene-truncation variant on this allele.

27

This HPS1 variant was identified in a subject with of Irish descent with HPS clinical features and accelerated pulmonary fibrosis. He was compound heterozygous for c.1744–2A>C (predicted to cause exon skipping (Oetting & King, 1999)) and c.1857+2T>C (predicted to result in use of alternative intronic splice site 4 base-pairs into intron 18, resulting in a frameshift of the coding region) (Supplemental Table S2) (McElvaney et al., 2018).

28

This HPS1 variant was identified homozygous by next generation sequencing in one unreported subject of Arabic descent in the NIH HPS cohort.

29

This HPS1 variant was found homozygous in one unreported subject of Dutch-French-German-Irish-Native American descent in the NIH HPS cohort. This novel splice site variant c.1858–1G>A, is predicted to create an alternative splice site 1-bp into exon 18, resulting in a frameshift of the coding region (Supplemental Table S2).

30

These Indels occur in the same region and result in a loss of the HPS1 termination codon (codon #701) and extension of the translated HPS1 protein.
