Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the GCSH gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The H protein (GCSH) shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein (GLDC) to the T protein (GCST). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1671321}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) [MIM:605899]: Autosomal recessive disease characterized by accumulation of a large amount of glycine in body fluid and by severe neurological symptoms. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
Pathway
Glycine, serine and threonine metabolism - Homo sapiens (human);Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism - Homo sapiens (human);Ammonia Recycling;Glycine degradation;Metabolism of amino acids and derivatives;Metabolism;Glyoxylate metabolism and glycine degradation (Consensus)
